Mumbai: Supermodel Ujwala Raut will be seen walking as a showstopper for designer Vidhi Wadhwani, who is all set to make her debut at the forthcoming Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) Summer/Resort 2017 next month. “Model Ujwala Raut will be seen walking in as the showstopper since I feel that she is the perfect one to carry this look and can pull off anything and everything fabulously. Our aesthetics definitely match and I am sure she would definitely set the ramp ablaze,” Wadhwani said in a statement. Her collection is all about fluidity and draping and delicate texturing so that an outfit can be interpreted and worn in different ways and not necessarily conform to a “type” (Indian/western). Versatility and wearability are the keys for this brand. The USP of the brand lies in its unique hand-done textures, seamless drapes and edgy elements that make each piece subtly stand out.
The collection named “La-Isla” (The Island) derives its inspiration from the tiny island of Cyprus through its bohemian free-spirited culture, its exotic beaches and vibrant nightlife. Talking about her collection, Wadhwani said: “My new collection La-Isla is inspired by natural elements through juxtaposition of layers creating dramatic yet playful silhouettes focusing on neat lines and seamless drapes,value added with hand cut motifs and appliqué with white, gold and black accentuating the vintage look of pieces.” The line consists of versatile separates in terms of dresses, jackets, jumpsuits and gowns in rich organzas, metallic linens, crushed silks and mesh. The collection is minimal yet luxurious, classic yet ostentatious, dramatic yet flattering occasion wear is the undertone of this Summer-Resort 2017 line.
