The third day of the Wills India Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2014 saw designers experiment with different hues of blue in their collection.
While designer duo Niket and Jainee showcased a denim-based collection, Pratima Pandey on the other hand displayed a line inspired from the ancient Blue Pottery.
"Ours is a fusion of denim and cotton and hence blue was the main colour of this collection. I think the clothes are very wearable and comfortable," Niket told reporters after the show.
Former Miss Universe India 2012 Urvashi Rautela walked the ramp for Niket and Jainee looking elegant in a sheer blue gown teamed with a denim underskirt.
"This is the perfect red carpet outfit for me. I feel very good and confident in this beautiful garment. It is modern and contemporary and suits my taste well," Urvashi said.
The collection was comprised of jumpsuits, gowns, short and long dresses. A lot of sheer fabric was also used in their new line.
Pratima Pandey regal collection was titled 'Two Sisters', which was inspired by the relationship of the two colours blue and white of Blue Pottery.
"I started researching on Blue Pottery a while back and I was really taken aback how it reached Delhi from Persia and then spread to Jaipur and other places. I find the combination of white and blue to be perfect for the upcoming Spring-Summer season," Pratima said.
The romantic collection mainly had three silhouettes -Kurtas teamed with pallazos, jumpsuits and drapes. The clothes also saw the trademark intricate embroidery of the designer.
"We understand embroidery very well so I could not help but use embroidery in my new line," she said.
Designer Rajdeep Ranawat's "Tropical" collection was also high on the colour blue. He used a much ornate and pastel versions of the colour in his Spring-Summer collection.
