A journey from ivory to colour:
JJ Valaya's 2012 collection was what you can always expect from him. Brocade and velvet jackets belted over royal hued and finely embroidered sarees and gowns. Anarkalis aplenty. So far.. so good. Nothing revolutionary. But its not all what you show thats important though, its how you show it too. Just as it was a journey from monochrome to vibrance, it seemed to me 3 generations of JJ Valaya's peeps walked the show including my favourite man of all time, Navtej Johar.It started with classic whites, tulles, shawl collar jackets and fine embroidery and moved on to denim (yes, denim made an appearance in way of breeches) and went on to some Kantha embroidered lehengas we've seen from his past bridal couture collections but later got really stylish and modern with belted shawls over digital printed and embroidered skirts accesoried with those incredible Mercura NYC sunglasses. Classic to contemporary; evolving styles. A lil something I appreciated about the Wills India Fashion Week A/W 2012 finale admist all the theatrics. :)
