A mix of Goan and Indian flavour was in full flow as designer Verma Dmello showcased her collection at the World Fashion Week in San Francisco, USA recently.
The event witnessed models dressed in Indian Fabrics which were sourced from the different states of India and transformed into high fashion garments. Goan band Rhythm and Blues' from Orlim arranged the background music while the models walk up the ramp.
D'Mello integrated select handwoven fabrics such as khadi, bomkai handloom ,mangalagiri cotton, tassar, silk, paithani brocade, maheshwari handloom, pochampally ikat, patola, weave, rajastani broacade and jute, which were uniquely moulded and put together to give Indian fabrics a new perspective.
The biggest star of the show however was Goa. One of the outfits on the ramp had the bottom half of the skirt, from knee down, feature a Mario Miranda painting whereas the top half featured the Goan kunbi fabric recognised by its checkered print.
But every single piece featured the beautiful details of India, embroidery, weaves, brocaded and raw silks, woven threads of gold. D’Mello truly gave the intricate and exotic touches of Indian style a chance to shine.
