The Indian Bloggersphere went out guns blazing on twitter announcing a new revolution introduced in the fashion industry using the hashtag #LivaFluidFashion. We were invited to the event the same evening which was held at the newly opened JW Marriott hotel in Sahar, Andheri East, Mumbai. It was the press launch of Liva.
The first question that had come to my mind when initially invited was -What is Liva? So yes leaving the best for the last. Let us jump right into the action.
Renowned fashion designers James Ferreira, Puja Nayyar, Soham Dave, Narendra Kumar and Anita Dongre collaborated to put up a show titled Panchtatva’ depicting the five integral elements of nature Air, Earth, Sky, Water and Fire through small capsule collections each interpreting one element of nature through their designs. All their ensembles were very flowy, fluid and feminine.
Designers James, Soham and Nari’s collection didn’t quite impress us much. Although they did encapsulate a visual reference of the elements of nature represented through their design.
We really loved and were surprised to see Puja Nayyar’s collection as we first time got acquainted with the designer at this show.
Anita Dongre as usual never failed to disappoint and put up a spectacular collection.
Finally arrived the moment where Bollywood Actress Kangana Ranaut strut the runway with poise and panache wearing a red voluminous gown. Being a stalwart since her modeling days, Kangana still carries herself with tremendous attitude and has been rightly selected to be the brand ambassador for Liva.
