Debashri Samanta's Hooked Fish Prints At LFW 2014

Day 3 of LFW 2014 began with quiet elegance from a very novel collection. Debashri Samanta's collection at LFW 2014 reflected her Bong origins. Bengalis cannot hide their love for fish even when it comes to their fashion mantra. Designer Debashri Samanta is known for her fascination for cotton as a fabric for designing her outfits. And she sticks to her favourite even this time around.

The most striking feature of this collection at LFW 2014 is the fish prints. The colour palate includes navy blue, ink blue, white and steel grey. Almost all the designs have been created from these four major colours which in itself is an achievement. This is one of the most innovative collections we have seen so far at Lakme Fashion Week 2014 Winter Festive.

Many celebrities are picking Debashri Samanta's designs these days. Recently, we had seen Alia Bhatt in a maxi gown from this designer's label. The kaftans, wrap around skirts and drapes in this collection will surely find favour with the Bollywood stars. The use of cotton makes this collection for LFW 2014 very earthy and fresh.

The showstopper outfit was a stunner. She wore a fish printed saree with a full sleeved grey blouse with a criss-cross back. We also liked a navy blue strapless gown that was teamed up with a white shrug. Apart from this, most of the designs in the collection were fusion and perfect for day wear in the coming winters.

Knotted Pants n Tied Up Crop Top

As the theme of the collection is 'Hooked' referring to the fishing villages of Vietnam, the knotted pants and top are apt renditions of fishermen's clothing.

The fish prints on cotton and silk are the most ardent symbols of this collection. The ruffle top looks smart with the black midi skirt.
