Arjun Saluja’s Rishta label presented one of the most innovative collections for Spring/Summer 2009 at Lakme Fashion Week. The designer has always managed to give something that is quite extraordinary as far as his seasonal collections are concerned. Large round lapels for men’s jackets, cowled Jodhpuri trousers worn with short sleeve safari jackets, balloon Jodhpuris with fabric layers teamed with multi-striped shirts, a pale blue linen sailor blouson and pant, yellow cotton shirt with intricate detailing worn with flowing pants with attached giant pockets, and an all white wide harem pant and shirt creation will all give men’s wear a more futuristic direction.
For women’s wear there were pleated bibs and square epaulets, a stylish brown crepe flap dress, a white Greek inspired draped gown, ankle length bubble skirt with innovatively striped shirt, and a smart brown pleated zipped dress.
