WIFW Ramp Watch: Pankaj and Nidhi

Inspired by Matador costumes, Pankaj and Nidhi’s latest collection comprised separates like Spanish boleros, cascading capes, turn-back jackets and brass button high waisted pants and skirts with intricate gold cord work. Diamonds, hearts, clubs and vined patterns found their way onto various shapes in the form of print or laborious embroidery.

HIGHPOINTS: A fine take on androgyny.

SCOPE: The print-cutwork pencil-peplum formula needs to change! A new direction needs to be explored urgently.
