LFW - ' PINNACLE ' By Shruti Sancheti

Hey every1!! I am back.. After a really long time..
College, work, assignments, and my poor health was actually keeping me away from blogging from so long..
But as a NIFT'ian, I got a great opportunity to attend Lakme Fashion Week's Winter / Festive 2014 for the first time and I thought of sharing my experience. It was indeed a memorable day!! :);)
 
It was Nagpur based Designer, Shruti Sancheti's show. Frankly speaking, I did not know much about her before the show. But out of curiosity, I did manage to do a bit of research.
A senior design faculty from last 8 years, Shruti Sancheti started her own fashion label ' PINNACLE by Shruti Sancheti ' in December, 2009. Her label is famous for using indian textiles as she strongly believes in promoting indian sensibilities.

It was indeed an awesome show, with the main element of crafting the clothes for cosmopolitan polished ladies. Shruti Sancheti has always highlighted her brand's vision of supporting the weaving community and this time too, she tactfully experimented with silk woven in banaras, embellished with Zardozi.

  I found the lotus motiff on the brooches very fascinating and after a detailed reaserch, found out that her Granfather-In -Law Madan Lal Sancheti was the founder of 'Jan Sangh', which later became BJP with lotus as its symbol. After getting to know this, I was really impressed and pictured her as a lady who stands by her beliefs.


She was really celebrating India's textile tradition as models showcased sharara jumpsuits, choga jackets, etc.



According to me, the most attention seeking dress which caught my eyes was a sari with a long - sleeve trench and a gold sheath with side cut-outs.

 It was indeed a pleasure watching her tribute to the Indian Textiles and I hope to walk soon on her path!! :)
