J J Valaya Collection At Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Show – Spring Summer 2011
J J ValayaThe royal princess
Veteran designer J J Valaya connotes his ready to wear line for Spring/Summer’11 as more historic and antique. Alika, his dreamy princess wants to live her life to the fullest. Epitomising grandeur and augustness with surfaces like velvets and brocades, she is Valaya’s new found muse. The beautified persona of the princess has got a make believe impact, creating a rippled effect towards reality.
At the same time her ambiguous approach interprets the live floral motifs and intricate carvings as an illusion.
Her freedom is celebrated with hues like green, gold, beige, peach, translucent whites and grey. Intriguing combinations of grey/ crème , peach/ beige and black/off-whites created a visual delight.
There was a subtle display of prints on the empire lines and accentuated crinkles below the waist. An ombre dyed leggings teamed with embellished brocade jackets.
Fusion wear has been Valaya’s forte forever. The silhouettes were halter tunics , velvet coaties, circular cut-back tulle blouses, see-through sleeves with gold brocade cuffs, sensuous translucent flared tops, overlapped bustlines and Brocade kurtis with princess style lines. Whereas the indigenous silhouettes had sarees with rich exotic borders, some also had long fringes on the pallus creating an amazing contemporary statement.
The antique jewelery highlighted the waist lines, at the same time linear lurex and dark shaded borders gave the collection a rich sumptuous look.
