Making menswear work for women

Tranquility. This seemingly simple frame of mind is an impossible task to translate on to clothes. But Atsu, with his at-ease silhouettes, soothing colour story and sparse surface embellishments cooled the atmosphere.

Atsu Sekhose At: 1.50 pm


An hour before Ritu Beri's show luxury cars jammed the
porch at the venue. We assumed it would give us a chance to
shoot the cream of theu00a0capital's social circuit. However,
we spotted a handful, that too regulars like hair stylist
u00a0Sylvie,u00a0socialite Tanisha Mohan, designer Abdul Haldar.
u00a0Those who ruled the attendance register were families
u00a0of defence personnel. The show was overcrowded and
even female guests attendeesu00a0sat on the floor.
u00a0Yes. They did before Sunil Sethiu00a0gave them his

Double breasted jackets, pants, shirts, trench coats traditional menswear clothing styles were reborn.

In fact, Atsu worked around the established styles and created delicate moments with colour and fabrics a blood red silk trench coat, and a yellow ochre wool knee-length dress with subtle nip tucks.

The bare, wispy velvet blouse had surface embellished arms, a feminine silk shirt surrendered to military epaulets, while the structured collar jacket raised eyebrows with an emb collar.

All this against the backdrop of the sound of weeping violins. The airy and agreeable 24-piece line-up was positively wholesome.
