Tarun Tahiliani opened the fall season at Lakmé Fashion Week last night. In case you missed all the action on social media, here is what you need to know about the show.
The theme
Taking inspiration from the works of the late Mrinalini Mukherjee, Tahiliani drew references from the artist’s hemp sculptures. “Art is relevant to us because it transports and inspires the viewer, at many levels,” said the designer. “Mrinalini Mukherjee’s retrospective did that for me, which is why I spent so much time working on this: a tribute, a salute, an acknowledgement of this raging genius body of work that has transgressed many shapes and forms and is powerful in its expression in a range of new materials.”

The set
Despite moving the venue last minute from St Xavier’s College, Mumbai, to St Regis, the designer created a intricate mesh cave on the runway. Live percussion and singing accompanied the models walking down.

The silhouettes
From cape dresses to asymmetric gilets, draped skirts and dhoti pants, the designer presented a wardrobe of separates that could easily be taken from day to night. Deep crimsons, safari greens, ochres, cobalt blues and black dominated the runway. “We’ve taken inspiration mainly from the hemp. It’s like an ‘urban tribalism’ for me; visceral, deep, fluid, lava-like and of course, draped in its form!” added Tahiliani.

The showstopper
Kangana Ranaut walked the runway for the designer in a black satin skirt and red gilet. Tahiliani’s show was presented by Lyf mobiles, which called for the star and designer to pose at the head ramp for a selfie. Browse through all the looks from the collection in our slideshow.
