‘Secrets of the Sea’ a unique and almost surreal collection by designer Arunima Majhi wowed the fashionistas at Jabong Stage during Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2015. Functional in form and yet uber fashionable, the range was inspired by the sea and its beautiful creatures with an added edge of mermaid-like fantasy.Palazzo pants, structured tops, dresses, culottes, sporty jackets, jogger pants and skirts made their way down the ramp in elegant shades of coral, lilac, mint green, golden sand nude, blush and sea foam blue. An array of decadent fabrics like silks, tulle, jacquards, organza, crépe and poplin added to the allure of the collection and gave each outfit a relaxed yet chic appeal. To add a bit of oomph, mesh and see-through fabrics worked to accentuate each piece.Staying true to the playful vibe of her collection, the designer used hand illustrated digital prints of skeletons, sea snails, nudi branches and other sea creatures while techniques like laser cutting and embroidery added a trendy touch. A particularly eye catching piece was a ravishing mint green cape dress, which cascaded down the catwalk and stole the spotlight.Dreamy and daring, ‘Secrets of the Sea’ by Arunima Majhi is one collection, which will leave any diva diving into her closet for more!
