Every season, in collaboration with FDCI, designer Eshaa Amiin delivered a fresh burst of creativity to the runway at Lakmé Fashion Week. Her designs have always been a riot of color, textures, and styles.

In the anthology “Lyricals of an Escapist,” Eshaa combined a range of ideas that included heavy doses of science and fantasy with a dash of metaphysical magic.

Her fabric selection was lavish and varied, with upscale alternatives in brilliant colors that rivaled the rainbow’s colors and were emphasized by costly decorations. The use of silky metallics made sure that the silhouettes displayed on the runway had a lot of drama.

When multicolored, whimsical patterns glittered on a minidress paired with vivid magenta leggings, the collection almost had a harlequin-like feel. The collection included a sporty edge thanks to a cheery combination of printed shorts, a bralette, and a long-sleeved, cropped jacket. A will-powered bralette with frilled, layered, crinkled, and layered sleeves was paired with palazzos to offer even more fashion flair. As twirling maxi skirts, tasseled one-shoulder shirts, printed pantsuits, and robes produced an explosion of fashion on the ramp, there was more vibrant fun clothing to select from.

Kalki Koechlin reveled in her head-turning entrance as she danced in wide, multicolored striped trousers and cropped top ensemble paired with a stunningly vibrant, printed jacket with tasseled sleeves. Influencers Aki and Ankush Bahugana also sashayed on the ramp.

The “Lyricals of an Escapist” will be where the fashion directions will lead when the stylist in us wants to add some fashionable escapism to the wardrobe.

Show-stopping Kalki Koechlin said, “Walking for Eshaa Amin, who is one of my closest friends and confidants, has truly been an honor. I feel like a true fashionista when I look at this wonderful assortment, especially the show-stopping ensemble. I am completely myself in this attire because I know my daughter would adore it. Eshaa deserves huge kudos for her presentation”.
