It is the last leg of summer, with the monsoon season almost upon us, inspiring designer Jyotee Khaitan to launch her customary monsoon collection. This time, it is all about elevating the glam quotient with bright hues balanced with some softer shades, a play of prints, her signature drapes, and styling it attractively with skilful and sensual lace detailing. What elevates the style quotient in each look is the play of matching fabrics on the hair, skillfully executed by make-up pro Abhijit Paul. The concept of turbans and headgear in elaborate bow shapes and hoods makes the collection of party-ready outfits, from lunch and brunch to cocktail evenings, looking nothing short of a mini Met Gala! Here’s a Telegraph sneak peek of the collection, with Sanjana Banerjee donning the looks gracefully:
The mango yellow offshoulder crepe gown with pleated detailing above the waist and delicate mirror and sequin detailing all over, spells glam. The sequinned headgear adds to the dazzling look.
The slip-in mini dress with a play of prints and cowl drapes in a mix of feminine pink and earthy brown is all about having fun and keeping it simple during the splishy-splashy season.
Inspired by the trendy hooded gowns, this shiny red drape skirt and the hooded top is a party show stealer. The sleek lace detailing around the waist, the knotted style in front, the patch of lace on the shoulder and the border along the hood create the perfect drama for this flowy crepe silhouette.
The single-shoulder dress designed in the trendy cut-out style with lace and sequin embroidery detailing on the waist and hemline is feminine and alluring. The lace headgear in the shape of a bow elevates the drama of the look.
