Kolkata-based designer Komal Sood who debuted at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Autumn/Winter show recently, brought to life the lyrical and textural appeal of the exotic autumn bloom: Birds of Paradise at the show. Inspired by flowers she connoted a tale with a poetic feel, where nature meant freedom from materialistic things. Sood created a collection which had dream like silhouettes that resembled a brightly colored birds in flight as fabrics, cuts and embellishments personifies demi-couture for the diva who walks the red carpets. There was an element of romance and serenity depicted by never-before used loud colors. Beige camels, burnt oranges and reds were definitely pleasing for the eyes. Visual geometry vitally dramatized a greater out-of-the-box play with the embellishments, which were linear, rhombic and at times floral and circular. The motifs were placed strategically to make everybody fall for it at the first sight.
She used rich silk flat chiffons, georgettes, satins and taffetas go ornamental with silhouettes that are luxuriously fluid and at the same time draped in controlled structure. The woman when dressed in them is the enchanting nymph gliding through floaty dreamy clouds. The collections blend the ancient heritage with a modern twist, with a mission for a continuous quest for craftsmanship, glamour and reverie.
Sood says her collection is meant for all those young girls who want to flaunt their feminine side with a lot of oomph and glamour. Her designs are most sought after for red carpets and glamorous events and she retails from India as well as abroad.
