boAt ties up with Urvashi Kaur to showcase Akara at LFW

Renowned audio brand boAt teamed up with a popular fashion designer, Urvashi Kaur, known for her very glocal styles, to showcase a very exciting, young, vibrant and aspirational collection Akara at the Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2018.

Known for her indigenous designs that are aimed at the global buyer, Urvashi Kaur’s collection Akara was an intense study of technology married to organic textiles, embellishments and weaves that are traditional in form and nature. The natural dyes that have always been an integral part of her line were brought in for the relaxed clothes.

Kaur’s colour card was an exploration of discreet monochromes with grey, black and olive heading the list; while pale salmon and winter sage balanced the tones with a sudden pop of bright fuchsia, which brought in a surprise element. The beauty of natural elements gave Urvashi the creative thrust into the linear patterns that were perfectly translated into her signature hand block prints and some expert micro pleating. This very interesting detailing and texturing technique was bestowed on hand woven Khadi, sheer kota doriya and matka silk. Adding further flavour to the fabrics story were crinkle cotton, sheer noil, silk linen and the amazing use of Shibori patterns.

The androgynous nature of the ensembles was very evident as the sharply tailored separates were brought in layers of sheer and opaque for the relaxed silhouettes. A variety of easy shapes appeared in quick succession on the runway. Jumpsuits were stylishly assembled as eye-catching options. Shirt-dresses offered practical fashion for the busy woman and the oversized apparels ensured that the collection had a trans-seasonal appeal.

While the garments displayed a multi-dimensional functional wardrobe for the coming season, the creative merging of the silhouettes, fabrics and detailing worked in perfect unison just like the universe, which moves effortlessly and was the unconventional inspiration for the collection.

Keeping with the anti-fit theme of the garments, there were light grey, oversized, crushed, crinkled, midi dresses with flowing capes having tie-ups at the bodice. The translucent striped comfortable shirts and culottes gave the collection a very relaxed-yet-sporty look. The only accessory that had to be added to Kaur’s collection was the hi-tech, modern and trendy boAt headphones that kept the mood of the show intact.

When it comes to clothes that have a firm hold on the fabrics, textures, colour story and a chic look, Kaur offered all the right choices.
