Gaurav Gupta(WIFW) He does not need to prove his skills, but that is precisely what the collection seems like. Certainly not his best work, but the master of complexities presents some great precision engineering for apparel.
	Prashant Verma (WIFW) A very wintry feel to a spring/summer collection, with quilted leather ruling supreme. Again, very distinct international inspirations (Kane, Owens, Saunders), but some pieces stand out due to the architectural treatment and graphic prints.
	Nachiket Barve (LFW) Acid hues and ‘poisonous’ looking textures inspired by toxic life. 3D squares and flake textures on organza are pretty and edgy.
	Tarun Tahiliani (LFW) In the midst of all the Grecian goddess drapes, the beautifully embroidered super short waistcoats — teamed with gherdars, dhoti trousers and palazzos – are refreshing.
	Varun Sardana (WIFW) After a great last season, this collection is a very ‘external’ affair. Ribbon curtains with pom-poms and stuck-on origami pieces are superficial elements. But fan pleating and the ‘condom’ texture are fun.
	Vineet Bahl (WIFW) Romantic holiday/resort range that starts as a continuation of the wispy chiffon Lolita saga, but gradually gets bolder, more graphic.
	Rehane (LFW) Lace, organza embroideries, eyelets and thigh skimming hemlines make for some flirty frocks that are a whole lot of fun.
	Rahul Mishra (WIFW) The fabrics remain unchanged and many styles are recycled from previous collections, but there are some fresh sparks, like a vibrant indigo hue, a handloom cotton jumpsuit, gaucho pants and geometric maxi dresses.
	Wendell Rodricks (WIFW) The emperor of bias showcases some beautifully fluid dresses and cute metal jewellery shaped like sea-horses.
	Péro by Aneeth Arora (LFW) Ex-label Gaba’s better half continues to nourish the brand’s peasant-chic/earthy hippy ethos, despite the name change. Nothing has altered much – pretty clothes that we all would like to wear in nice cottons and linens.
