Day 2 BTFW: Versha Sethi, Reemly and Pallavi Madhesia Yadav steal the show

The second show of the much-anticipated Bombay Times Fashion Week 2018 day two was an amalgamation of everything stylish. Three designers--Versha Sethi, Reemly and Pallavi Madhesia Yadav—mesmerised the audience by showcasing their lovely collections back to back.

The blend of blue, pink and peach dominated the collection of Versha Sethi. Her creation showcased beautiful fabrics like benarasi, muga silk and silk. “The collection celebrates the beauty of women and is painted in the tones of colors that appear after sunset,” said Versha.

Vartika Singh, Femina Miss India Grand 2015, was the showstopper for Versha. “I am wearing this flowy skirt that is made with benarasi fabric. The best part of such fabrics is they make every woman look beautiful and at the same time provide employment to many,” said Vartika.

Designer Reemly's collection Kalavati—Treasures of Odisha was dedicated to the vibrant culture and exquisite art forms of Odisha like Pattachitra, Pipili appliqué and Dongria etc. The collection was made using handmade fabrics, natural dyes, and organic colours.

“The collection is a step towards promoting the local art and artisans of Odisha. I am glad and wish to thank all the artisans who managed to make this show possible in such a short span of time,” said Reemly.

Yamaha Fascino Miss Diva 2018 runner-up Roshni Sheoran was the showstopper for Reemly. “I am wearing applique work and it is like a fresh wave of fashion that supports local art and culture. I feel such designers should be promoted at all cost. Also, I am happy that such designers are coming ahead to promote Indian art and culture,” said Roshni Sheoran.

Designer Pallavi Madhesia Yadav’s collection was named SIYA inspired by Indian goddess Sita who symbolises strong Indian women. She has used lots of pastel colours like cadet blue, teal, mauve and vibrant tones like golden and fuscia pink as well in her collection.

Pallavi, who hails from Lucknow, has kept the traditional Lucknowi zardozi intact in her collection blending it very beautifully with modern embroidery patterns.

“The SIYA collection celebrates modern Indian bride who loves all the colours of the rainbow. I have tried to add a lot of volume to the collection with heavy hand embroideries. I want to thank Bombay Times for the opportunity and Aditi Hundia for being my showstopper,” said Pallavi.

Miss Diva Supranational 2018 Aditi Hundia, who was the showstopper for Pallavi, was all praises for the designer. “I feel like a princess in this outfit and the entire intricate detailing makes this outfit a perfect one for any family ceremony,” said Aditi.
