For generations, images of beauty, art, and history have been associated with the city of Pondicherry. It has additionally a creative wellspring of ideas for designers that like the hues and way of life of the city. The Reby Jindal-founded “GUAPA” label is well known for its vibrant vacation apparel. So it comes as no surprise that the brand paid artistic homage to Pondicherry with the “P.O.N.D.I.” collection, which was presented during Lakmé Fashion Week in collaboration with FDCI.

The Bay of Bengal’s tranquil blue waves and coastal lagoons served as a creative inspiration for the label. The immaculate French cottages have magnificent bougainvillea plants surrounding them.

The designer of the brand also walked through the narrow, colorful French streets to create more fashionable illustrations of the ensembles. Resort wear serving as the base, the collection transitioned from airy silhouettes to loose, comfortable clothing designed in breathable, ecological textiles.

Lovely Rhea Chakraborty made a grand entrance on the ramp and looked stunning as finished the performance wearing a backless, colorful, flowy, printed maxi with dramatic side cutouts.

When it’s time for that much-anticipated resort vacation, fashionistas will surely choose the “P.O.N.D.I.”
