Lakme Fashion Week Winter Festive 2013: Day 3 Trends We Love

While browsing through day three collections, I found some interesting trend angles that I decided to do -- in place of designer-wise collections. The first style that caught my eye was the exaggerated lapel, prominent in the collections of Drvv by Dhruv Kapur, Nupur Kanoi and Payal Khandwala.

Zipped up, simple yet chic, lapels touched base to create some very sporty silhouettes. Kanoi's collection especially had a bunch of stylish collars on bold, statement colours.

Next up were the graphic prints. Abstract, stripped and scattered, prints embraced the collections of Priya Kataria Puri, Global Desi by Anita Dongre, Riddhi and Siddhi Mapxencar, and Richa Aggarwal. Neons, clubbed with androgynous silhouettes in Aggarwal's collection shone bright, and this has been one of the most fabulous shows till now in my opinion.

Post a lot of metallic shine in the previous shows, day three had it's fair share of the molten beauties in collections by Vikram Phadnis and Amit Aggarwal. Phadnis's collection has a mixed opinion from me; some of the ensembles were spectacular where as others were drab. I totally loved Amit Aggarwal's styles -- artsy with an overdose of super funk!

This was Amit Aggarwal's  first foray into Indian wear away from his label Morphe, and his signature drape and sculpt touch was of course evident in most ensembles. With a palette where metallic tones overwhelmed deliciously, and touches of pop shades highlighted excitingly, I am just bowled over -- truly. A genre -- sculpture, futurism and drape -- where many attempt to execute complicated harmony, Aggarwal plays it up with perfection, and amazing flawlessness.

Here's some more Amit Aggarwal look variations to lust over:
