85 Lansdowne is celebrating the season with a bunch of fashion labels like Taika by Poonam Bhagat, Bohame, Anaar, Silk Affair and Pinki Sinha, each with a distinct sensibility. While Anaar is all about fun sneakers, Bohame’s collection comprises tie-and-dye across contemporary styles. Taika by Poonam Bhagat will showcase The Petal Story and Waka Waka. The Petal Story is in Chanderi with floral motifs and Waka Waka packs in the drama with digital prints and bold motifs and colours. What are great summer coolers for Team Taika? “Pastels and bright pastel Chanderis and light blended silks that are easy and breezy,” they said. Pinki Sinha will showcase her lovely saris.

Team Anaar picked “old-school glamour and reined-in aesthetics” as their summer coolers. “Globally Gucci’s maximalist aesthetics are out and Prada reigns supreme with its clean lines. In India, this is reflected in bridalwear that is mono-toned but heavily self-textured with gorgeous intricate embroideries and sequins. For old-school glamour, we’ve got deep reds and greens with intricate gold embroidery in our Heirloom, Masquerade and Jungle N Jass classic sneakers. Metallics, especially silver, will also dominate the mood. Another thing that’s popular right now is shifted angles and asymmetry. It’s spring and florals never get predictable. Go for the Corsage sneakers!” was the word from them.
