LA PERLA
With a long summer just around the corner, you’ve got to be prepared for a beach-hopping spree in Goa or an impulsive getaway to the Bahamas. La Perla’s recent swimwear collection ensures that you make a sizzling style statement wherever you go. Characterised by pure colour and sensual contouring, the swimsuits and bikinis are like works of art sculpted onto the body. Interesting effects created with light and crystals, abstract graphic designs like reproductions of digital art, pop-effect maxi-chains, iridescent Lycra and macro-size jewel details are the highlight of this collection. Also look out for eye-catching embroidery, made with crystals arranged in geometric rows that create an original mosaic effect as well as sequins, which are the main feature of two jewel bikinis. Teams up perfectly with sheer sarongs or silk crepe kaftans for poolside lounging.

PROMOD
Popular looks for the upcoming spring-summer season are going to have a heavy dose of urban, romantic and retro influences. As hard as it might be to keep abreast of constantly changing trends, Promod has them all covered. Keeping up with the demands of the urban working woman’s wardrobe, you’ll find trousers with subtle hem bands, blouses with origami work and A-line dresses in sand beige, flannel grey and pearl grey. For a softer, more romantic look, there are dresses with puffy sleeves in blush pinks and subtle greens. Go back in time a bit with a girly blouse and ’40s wide-leg pleat trousers or a knit skirt paired with a fitted cardigan. Those with a more casual sense of style should try the dainty floral print tops with flared trousers or the loose African print tunics in vibrant colours.
Address: Promod, Atria Mall, Worli, Mumbai-400018.
