Celebrating Indian handlooms, weaves and colours, Paromita presented a nomadic fashion streak of silhouettes on the Day 3 of ongoing Wills India Fashion Week 2014 ramp.

Colourful prints and dyes were used on cotton and khadi to bring the Indian touch to the easy to wear and comfy outfits. Printed shawls, trench coats, kurtis, jackets scarves, empire lines, pyjamis, printed silk palazzo pants, and open socks printed footwear looked chic on the ramp.

There's something about playing with textiles and our natural reserves. Textured stripes, plaids and A-lines dominated Paromita Banerjee's collection. The show was divided into three parts which depicted different stories of the handmade to the handloom. The 1st story is a collection of hand-woven cotton weaves which consisted of contemporary silhouettes like jackets, reversible capes, shirt dresses.
