MUMBAI: Celebrating the beauty of life, Farah Sanjana’s collection “Reset Restart” at Lakmé Fashion Week 2020 Digital First Season Fluid Edition, was a fashionable offering of optimism and hope. Projecting a strong, youthful line that signaled a better future in fashion and trends, Farah’s designing directions were dedicated to the ‘No Waste’ mantra that will, in turn, support the crafts of the many artisans who have suffered during the Pandemic.
Putting her creativity to the ultimate test, Farah consciously worked to upcycle many salient features from handbags, garments, bags, foil surplus, scarp metallic strips, and imaginatively turned them into amazing 3D forms of embellishments and designs.
Farah’s print story was inspired by the timeless grandeur and beauty of Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia to which she added a touch of glittering gold inputs. Staying true to the inspiration, Farah also brought in some dramatic neo-gothic high-density rubber to encrust the sleeves of the ensembles.
To match the strength of the theme, Farah’s aggressive silhouettes in brown, black, and white with hints of color for men and women made an impressive fashion statement.
For women, the dark brown jogging pants were teamed with battle jacket, while military-style trousers, classic blouse, midi skirts with bikers jackets, and double-breasted cropped jackets, completed the look with abstract prints and encouraging words like ‘Refresh, Restart, Reset’.
For the black and white story with bits of color thrown in, Farah brought a black mini with a glittering inset, a sari drape pant and blouse duo, a futuristic mini with extreme patched pockets, an impressive trouser suit with abstract print, and then rounded it off with an intensely printed boiler suit, mini and flared maxi skirt with a cropped blouse.
The electric blue pinafore/blouson duo and the shorts with double-breasted jacket brought a feminine touch to the range.
Men’s wear had a quirky almost unisex touch as printed tunics, with matching shorts, sleeveless kurta, and white printed/solid shirt and trousers made interesting combos.
Farah Sanjana’s “Reset Restart” collection was all about responsible fashion that will send a strong message to the fashion followers who value the environment and the future of sustainable fashion.
