At India Couture Week on the 30th of July, designer Rimzim Dadu debuted his latest menswear and womenswear collection, “Hydrochromic.” There were many solid, sculptural outfits that flowed like water in the showcase.
Dadu’s renowned metal textile gowns in shimmering metallic colours were on display at Hydrochromic. This season, the method was also used to make 3D flower decorations and structured men’s suits.
‘Molten Gold Leaf’ bustier and skirt combo, which gave off the impression of a contemporary mermaid thanks to the skirt’s fish scale pattern, were worn by Bollywood star Ananya Panday as the event came to a close, according to Dadu’s Instagram post. The brand debuted the collection on Facebook under the heading “a meditation on abstract perception and fluidity of thought that ebbs and flows like water,” according to Dadu.
In order to add to the fluidity of the collection, Varuna D Jani, the jewellery partner for the showcase, decked the models with a variety of stones inspired by nature. A show attendee shared on Instagram that the invitations for the runway show further explored the idea of water by appearing to be a blank sheet of paper that revealed the text only when water was put on top.
In 2007, Rimzim Dadu founded her own company, which now has a flagship location in Delhi’s DLF Emporio and a dedicated e-commerce site. Numerous Bollywood stars, including Sonam Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Deepika Padukone, have worn the brand’s clothing. Hyundai is a sponsor of the 16th iteration of India Couture Week, which takes place from July 25 to August 2. The fashion week, which is organised in collaboration with Reliance Brands Limited, is held in several locations in New Delhi, including the Taj Palace, and features presentations by 16 designers, including Falguni Shane Peacock, Ritu Kumar, Rahul Mishra, and Ritu Kumar.
