While SONAL MANSINGH began the show with a splendid performance giving tribute to all women achievers, the models came with lit candles setting an apt mood for the theme. In a world devoid of spiritual meaning and strong values, Payal Jain's collection christened "Omana" is an ode to the woman of today, who is multi-dimensional and modern with deep rooted ethics, values and beliefs. The woman of today is aware, evolved, mature and balanced. She enjoys her freedom while appreciating her responsibilities as well. She loves the old and lives the new. She is an emotional anchor, a fun loving partner, a nurturing parent and a successful and efficient leader. In a world of complexities and controversies, she has finally come of age and the collection is a salute to this modern woman. Holistically, 'Omana' reflects a certain kind of spirituality and serenity with an extraordinary sense of style and old world charm. The look is romantic and folklore, historic and old world with a very chic edge to the classic silhouettes. The shapes are soft and fluid with neat & precise styles in a variety of yarns like linen, cotton and silk. The color palette is completely neutral and conveys a feeling of peace and tranquillity. Silk jacquard with cutwork, chord embroidery, appliqué, satin silk thread and creole work are complimented by muted colors, washed out with aged patterns and minimalistic forms. It is a season for clear neutrals with simple and sophisticated motifs in monochromatic tones. The surface ornamentation is subtle, simple and minimal. Delicacy and weightlessness are key features of this collection. Precious fabrics have been sculpted into dresses to set off the fragility and are teamed up with blouses and bodies to give it a contemporary sensibility.
About Payal Jain With a unique and vibrant design sensibility, her belief is that fashion is a way of life. As Payal says, "Art is fashion and fashion, art. Fashion to me is an expression of one's own individuality, as any other form of art." With an extraordinary ability to apply her Indian sensibility to international trends, her art encompasses more than design. Payal seeks to have a universal appeal with her creations, taking cue from the timeless sensibility that fuses global infuences with modern Indian techniques and materials.
