MUMBAI: Ritika Bharwani's label, "Ritika" charmed all with her new collection titled 'Midnight Soiree' at Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2012.

This collection inspired by contemporary architecture included dresses, separates, jumpsuits and gowns- keeping her line vast and versatile.

In a colour palette which moved from fiery vermillion, electric blue, molten gold among other luxurious tones; the range aimed at being unusual, and at the same time maintaining the effortless natural concept intact.

Keeping with the richness of her designs, Ritika Bharwani made use of fabulous fabrics such as georgettes, nets and jersey as well as shimmer foil for the metallic pieces, while silk taffeta made an appearance occasionally to add a sophisticated touch.

Styled by the Lakme beauty experts, tousled hair, dark lips and accentuated cheek bones helped add an air of mystery to the collection.

Elevating the glam appeal of her designs, 3D embellishments made their way onto the bodies of the pieces, in geometric and structured patterns. This involved overlapping contrasting sequins, mother of pearl as well as gold metal materials.

Incorporating both structured draping as well as free flowing silhouettes this collection by Ritika Bharwani is one to watch out for, especially if the buyers believe in a little bit of fairy dust.
