Sky and water: Samant Chauhan, Rimzim Dadu's collections mirror nature at IFW ramp

Two contrasting elements of nature -- sky and water -- made their way to the ramp at FDCI presents Lotus Make-up India Fashion Week SS'20 on Wednesday.

While Samant Chauhan presented his clothing line inspired by a 'Starry Night in Spiti Valley', Rimzim Dadu paid glowing tributes to movement of waves and ripples on the opening day of the fashion extravaganza.

Chauhan said his recent trip reminded him of Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh's 'Starry Night' and the designer tried to translate the famous painting into his collection.

Famous for his penchant for monochrome, the new clothing line saw spurts of florals in shades of turquoise, red, blue and pink on the dominant black.

The designer said his trip to the picturesque valley in Himachal Pradesh altered his concept of how he viewed the colour 'black'.

"We have always done white and it is the second edition of black. The first was how I used to view black as per my nostalgia. This collection was how I now see black," .
