Feminine, not coy
SOFT AND FLOWING A model displaying Krishna Mehta's LIFW collection
Mumbai-based Krishna Mehta is not such a well-known name in Delhi but it is her 23rd year of practice as a fashion designer this year.
Krishna, with her label `Krishna Mehta', also has been participating in the highest platform for fashion designers in India - Lakme India Fashion Week.
And at the LIFW this Fashion Design Council of India board member would unveil her Fall-Winter 2005-2006 collection.
Known to be among the very firsts to start a designer menswear way back in 1989, Krishna this time though, has designs only for women.
"My muse is feminine but not coy. She understands the world and its ways and is ready to accept the thorns but without giving up the flowers," says Krishna.
Using fabrics like chiffon, georgette, satin and crepe, her colour palette for the collection has earthen browns, cinnamon, grey, blue, pink and porcelain.
"The look is sensuous yet bold in faded richness and sophisticated antiquity," she explains.
Krishna, who claims to be the first to introduce batik and tie and dye shirts, would, however, keep her women's collection away from it.
