When Nachiket Barve presents a collection it is for the thinking woman who wants something extraordinary. His ensembles called “Abstraction” for Fall/Winter 2010/11 started on a colour ladder of white, grey, black and then move up to red, azure, scarlet, sapphire blue, gold, silver, purple and metallic green.

Fabrics traversed from sheer chiffon, georgette, organza to crepe, shot silk, Lurex, resist dyed silk and Dupion silk. Working with his favourite sheer over solid magic for layered dresses, tunics and blending fluidity with construction; Nachiket played with silhouettes and lengths.

An expert at texturing, Nachiket selected appliqués, graphic effects, 3D and thread embroidery, cutwork, patchwork lace, hand work with silk, bugle beads and sequins for his embellishments. Opposites played a major role throughout the collection but with an emphasis on graphics and using fabrics as embellishments. There was skilful erosion of fabrics to show the layer below. Detailing included squiggles, Shibori, shading, crimping, petal skirts and hems as well as vanishing circles embroidery.

Each outfit was a work of exquisite construction and timeless in its beauty. The Shibori pleated shift with squiggle appliqué, degrade dyed silk panelled dress, gilet with patches of cutwork in Lurex, an another in asymmetricalorganza one with sequins, appliquéd circles and cutwork, black chiffon bias cut dress with asymmetric hem and yoke embellished with bugle beads, the very elegant draped layered belted gown with deep ‘V’ neckline and the dramaticorganza bolero with a chiffon front overlap gown were part of a collection that was painstakingly crafted and designed to perfection. With easy shapes as his forte, Nachiket Barve once again had a winning collection for his loyal buyers.
