P.E.L.L.A. by Priyanka Ella Lorena Lama was an Ingenious of Clever Construction at Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2016
Mumbai, 25th August, 2016: A collection by Priyanka Ella Lorena Lama for her P.E.L.L.A. label is always an innovative experience. At Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2016 P.E.L.L.A.'s 'Minus6.5' was an interesting invigorating line of shapes that were hard to decipher. Hand woven pure Eri silk, Jamdani, Cashmere and Pashmina all ideal for the coming season, were the designer's top choices. Priyanka's colour card remained neutral with white and grey and then moved onto black but peaked with red.
Known for innovations in surface manipulation she used thread work and then added hand painting to create an almost blurred visual. Priyanka's construction is her forte and this season too the patterns were created from a single block of fabric 'A CELLA' which needed minimum sewing and measurements thus offering an amazing silhouette. The finish was with rolled and blind hems that created unique ensembles. The collection featured copious amounts of pleats and layers.
A ravishing red cape gown made an interesting impact on the ramp. The silhouettes, though unstructured, were eye-catching.
For garments that can turn into conversation pieces the fashion conscious buyers need to add 'Minus6.5' to their wardrobes from P.E.L.L.A.
