THE TREND: PRINT ON PRINT
While geometric prints found their special niche in numerous separates, it was an almost mismatch of multiple prints over each other that created a tumultuous buzz.

Turquoise necklace, at Art Karat; printed Swarovski slippers, at Joy Shoes. Both in Mumbai.
Right: Polo neck printed tee shirt, by Shantanu and Nikhil; printed skirt, by Abhishek Gupta and Nandita Basu, for Fightercock. Both in New Delhi.
Brown leather beaded belt, at Cypress; printed bag and wedge heels, both at Nine West. All in Mumbai. Ring, stylist's own.

THE TREND: ROSE
The floral motif returned yet again, but this time, it concentrated mainly around the rose. Printed, embossed, embroidered or cut worked, roses were blossoming everywhere.

Right: Burgundy printed rose dress with stone embroidery, by Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna, for Cue, at 7 Best Marg; plum velvet wedges, by Namrata Joshipura. Both in Mumbai.
