Tarun Tahiliani’s SS’14 collection represents myriad ideas– from sorbet colours to arcane techniques. It focuses on exquisite separates that can be paired up to create various permutations and combinations that never get old. The collection has European chintz to indigenous Bidri work to Jamawaar and abstract art. Multiple influences are translated into everything from a T-shirt and pencil skirt to a lehenga, kaftan or a sari. Tahiliani has used cottons and sushi voile, fine thread work and chikankari that belie comfort in fashion. The SS’14 is bombarded by colours that personify the joie de vivre of an Indian festival collection such as indigo mustard, fuchsia, black and white, ivory and beige.
