Aakriti’s collection for her “Flirtatious” label during Lakmé Fashion Week in collaboration with FDCI was laid-back and fun-filled. Taking design cues from the colorful, languid, and glamorous Italian poolside setting, current fashion trends, and the popular television program “The White Lotus,” the “Flirtatious” label made sure that Italian inspirations were prominent in the collection.

Together with colorful art pieces, tantalizing beachwear included abstract prints and vibrant colors. The geometric components were inventively blended with quirky motifs like lemons and beach umbrellas. So, the exposed brick walls and checkerboard pool tiles were transformed into a clever, challenging print tale for the label.

The sleek bikini was ideal for the mermaid in every lady who likes to splash around in the water when it comes to fashion both in and out of the pool. The “Flirtatious” label believed that a long-sleeved body suit that could be dressed up or down was the best option for dressing up for that glitzy, beachside soiree. The tiny mini would raise heads when paired with a provocative front-tie-up, balloon-sleeved, cropped top. A set of boxer shorts and a bralette, covered with a matching robe, would make the ideal trio under the sun and create a stir both in and out of the water for that brief dip in the sea.

The one-piece swimsuit with matching beach robe and the two-piece swimsuit are further options for resort attire.

Sanya Malhotra, the star of the show, looked like she was dressed for a beach party as she sashayed in a vivid orange form-fitting, rouched skirt with a sensual high slit, a tiny matching bikini top, and a sheer, printed, orange, floor-length robe.

For women who enjoy dressing up or down, in vibrant colors and sensual beach wear on their resort vacations, Aakriti’s “Flirtatious” label brought fun, frolic, and color to the runway.
