The mustard silk dress worn by Bhumika Shodhan hungrily laps up the afternoon sunshine. The resulting liquid gold shimmer swirls in rhythm to her graceful, long-limbed strides, as she makes her way around a huddle of mighty Corinthian columns. We are at Shanti Kunj, the 140-year-old mansion built by Sir Chinubhai Madhowlal Ranchodlal, great-great-grandfather of Bhumika’s husband Shyamal Shodhan, the other half of Ahmedabad’s hyphenated couple and the mind behind the fashion label Shyamal & Bhumika. Interestingly, the extravagant soirées that were once held on the quadrangular deck—clad in tiles shipped from Europe over a hundred years ago by Shyamal’s forebears—was the inspiration behind the couple’s show, The Princess’s Soirée, at India Couture Week 2017 in July. číst dál

Fashion week may have gotten off to a good start with Shamaeel’s solo show but it fell into a slump on day one. We come to fashion week to scout for new trends, look out for ingenuity with craft and wow moments – this day lacked all of the above. It could be because the Winter/Festive show largely entails creating market friendly wedding wear for the upcoming months. This means designers hold back on experimenting to ensure returns on big investments on these heavily worked outfits that inevitably cost a small fortune to create. číst dál
