NATURE BOUND Deepika Govind
With the Wills Lifestyle Fashion Week happening in New Delhi, all the participating designers have been organising events for the preview of their collections to be showcased at the event. Designer Deepika Govind but thought out an interesting way of doing it. She paired the preview of her collection, "Seal of Sensitive: Key to Jigsaw" for WIFW with an exhibition of young artistes.
Inspired by nature
The paintings have been inspired by nature, a theme common to Deepika's collection. Said the Bangalore-based designer, "To me, sensitivity is like the sixth sense which sets you apart and gives an ability to see things which others could not. So be sensitive." Her list of admirers include names like Medha Patkar, Al Gore and Sunita Narayan for their efforts to conserve nature. n her collection she has used the natural gold coloured muga silk of Assam, which "is a protective against ultraviolet rays".
"Climate crisis is a greatest threat than terrorism. My collection focuses on the alarming environmental issues of global warming, pollution etc," she added. Deepikahas also used lot of pleats teamed with fitted three-quarter length trousers. The henna print dominates the printed inner layers in chiffon and organza.
Her other collection, "Rock n Roll" has a complete flamboyant look. In it, she has used colours like mineral red, cobalt blue, turquoise and sulphuric yellow. She has extensively used fabrics like ikats in patchwork and ethnic prints. Some of the painters who took part in the exhibition were Anjali Sapra and Hemant Rao. While Anjali's canvases explored the thought of freedom, beauty and peace, Rao's works presented the images of sun from dawn to dusk.
