Designer Ridhi Mehra has completed five years in the
fashion industry. To mark the milestone, she has roped in actress Pooja Hegde to
walk for her as a showstopper at Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) Summer/Resort 2018
edition.
Her collection will be titled Cinco which, according to the
designer, will be a melange of cultural accents which Pooja is going to present.
The collection will showcase an amalgamation of five different cultures that
have shaped her past collections, namely Islamic, Indian, Spanish, French and
Chinese, said a statement.
Elements like Spanish open jackets and fringed
shoulder epaulettes juxtaposed with delicate French flared sleeves and Islamic
motifs are mirrored using Indian drapes and indigenous embroideries.
The
collection will also feature alluring Chinoiserie and Islamic prints. In keeping
with the brand's ideology of innovation, it has played with bugle beads in a
manner to create optical illusion-like embroideries and have also given gota
fabric a contemporary update.
The five- day fashion week will start from
January 31, here.
