The somber, urban landscape of fall skies echo in the autumn-winter collection of Morphe, created and conceptualized by Amit Aggarwal. Amit, inspired by a young woman with an unshowy rock star-like personality, presents a line of dresses that vary in patterns from classic and easy shift dresses to fluid long sheath dresses. The forms inspired by structuralism are undemanding and romantic and are cauterized by an intrinsic graphic modernity. The fabrics are perforated and pixilated printing techniques that add beautiful distortion are coupled with tonal animal textures. Dark colours belonging to an autumn sky are splashed with vibrant light of the numbing dawn, bringing in vibrancy to inky tones. The collection moves within trajectories that redefine the rock chic look with feminine gothic undertones, yet retaining the poetic-fragility of the dark autumn.

From the canvas to fabric…From the frames to the ramp this is what Neeta indulges into She Focuses on ironic plays with synthetic brilliance and artificial compositions from art to fabrics linked to new paradoxical luxury mood which is draped in limp, aged and ultra soft fabrics in a palette fetch with the earthy tones sprinkled with a tint of gold to it . The classic and delicate mood is countered by a deliberately indelicate dark romanticism fulfilling by painted flowers, frayed finishes, and evolutionary folds. Very inimitable botanical motifs banish any thoughts of whimsical romanticism, with floral that burst out in 70’s style ‘’ impressionist bloom”
