With a collection that was all about style, glamour and ultra-elegance, ‘Soutache’ by Gaurika Sharma presented an eclectic look, “The Way We Were,” at The Studio during Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2019.
Inspired by the Dutch impressionist painters of the 17th century, inimitable floral prints were fused, on vintage structured jackets, to create a visually stunning line of mixed bloom paintings for an illusionary experience.

Revering ‘Soutache’s’ style sensibilities, the designer remembered the line of vibrant shades with floral motifs, that was the focal point of the line. Giving a luxurious stamp to the ensembles, Gaurika Sharma took the audience on a fashionable journey to the early twentieth century.
Using embellishments lavishly, were a range of flowing pleated skirts juxtaposed with hand embroidery, while the printed stripes on shimmer silk, wool, linen and cashmere, made the silhouettes opulent. The exquisite long dresses, smocks, capes, wraps and saris, created a look that will set the mood for the coming season.
Himanshu Verma, popularly known as the sari man, strutted down the runway in a black kurta teamed with an embellished dupatta draped like a sari and a golden blazer, that set a modern trend.
For those who long for New Age fashion that retains femininity but released spirit, “The Way We Were” by Gaurika Sharma for her ‘Soutache’ had it all.
