Cool cottons and floral fantasies at Fashion Week
Asmita Marwa continued withthe theme from her spring/summer collection earlier this year, inspired by her imaginary muse Maya on Day One of the LFW.
Designer Asmita Marwa introduced us to a mystical, imaginary muse at the previous instalment of Fashion Week earlier this year. Now, in a second coming, she reacquaints us with Maya, a "free-spirited world traveller, bohemian at heart", who "dreams of a world without boundaries."
In the 'Evolution of Maya' collection, however, she is now a complete woman, having evolved into someone with both earthly connections and spiritual leanings -- she has ended her destination of self-discovery.
Natural dyes and fabrics like khadi, along with doris (threads) and an assortment of colours, prints and textures characterised the garments. Seen here is a green gauze linen rose print and burnt red cotton layered dress.
