11.11 by CellDSGN’ s Spring/Summer ‘11 collection was a mad pouring of ideas thatwere both avant-garde unconventional and balanced in character. The designer duoSmita Singh Rathore, and Himanshu Shani, collaborated with accessory designer MiaMorikawa and presented a collection which was unabashedly ‘Out of Mind’.
The assortment was stimulated by the ideas of insanity, distortion, flaws, loneliness,mistakes and decay that were infused whimsically into the garments by the designers asif they were transcending a child’s livid imagination onto a canvas that was body.
An array of ivories, egg-shell whites, earthy browns, ochre and all mud colourscomprised the major part of the collection, whereas slight dabs of deep blues and mutedreds here and there gave the show a pleasant mood lift.
The designers used lots of asymmetric paneling, unfinished edges, fabric fold stacksand unruly structures that created a mad mix of very rare, raw and un-factoried lookingpieces that narrated a tale on its own.
Deconstruction was the norm of the day with aggressive slashes, coiled thread work,ripped surfaces, unconventional twists of fabric, assertive gathers/ruches and bleachedfabrics coming together to present a line that was distorted yet elegant. There was lotsof structure in the silhouettes that surpassed into a lounge-like easy formation.
Knotted tie-up shirts, apron style jerseys, baggy trousers, bustle skirts, pin-tuck detailedjumpsuits, drawstring pants, ikkat silk and criss-cross weave shirts, bandage pants andloads of eccentric cuts and shapes made the show a total steal.
Gripping funky-mechanical music, raw cushion quilts laid out on the ramp, disillusionedgothic make-up, hair puffs wrapped in bandage tapes, sole less crude fabric shoes,distinctive yarn based accessories and high on drama texturing, all these unusualelements together made the experience of the show unparalleled.
