in Jakarta. Models sashayed the ramp in retro looks flaunting shades of brick red, pastel and hues of green. The ensembles were inspired by the vintage look of colonial India having a contemporary twist. The impact of British architecture of colonial Kolkata was evident through their designs.

Based on the theme ‘The Shadows Within’, the vintage element was captured in the 45 dresses featured during the fashion show. Designs consisted of saris, short kurtis with trousers among other such designs. The show was sponsored by the Embassy Group, an Indian property group based in of Bangalore, which has developed more than 3.25 million square meters of prime commercial, residential and retail space in India, Malaysia and Serbia.

Clothes in the price range of 1,000 to 10,000 dollars (over Rs 50,000 to 5,00000) were created with hand weaving or hand-loomed techniques. Some designs like saris and Nehru jackets are also apt for Indian weddings.
