WLIFW: Payal Jain

Payal Jain's collection was called 'Black Earth' and had a color palette that seemed to have taken its cue from nature itself, lots of earthy browns, rusty red-browns, winter white and stone greys.

Capes featured predominantly in the collection as did jackets, wide necklines and houndstooth. Embellishment and embroidery were used to accent the pieces.

Day 1: Payal Jain

For me, this show of Payal Jain's was very bleh. The models were styled the same old boring way and while I can appreciate the craftsmanship that might have gone behind the clothes, thats where it ends for me. There was just a bit too much smocking and embroidery going on! The dresses at times were gathered and billowing, smocked and embroidered all at one time to a not so great end result! The show did have a feminine, whimsical vibe, even victorian at times.. I guess thats her way of interpretting, 'ultra-feminine', I don't know!

But am not totally dismissing the show, the collection had its high points..some individual pieces were fabulous like those 'achkan' inspired tops!
