Hair and flair came together as Dyson hair care technology made its debut along with designer Arpita Mehta at Lakme Fashion Week x FDCI at Jio World Garden. Celebrity hairstylist Adhuna was the chosen one to showcase how Dyson’s range offers stylists the versatility, control and agility they need to have their muses’ runway ready.

Arpita Mehta’s collection, inspired by a summer holiday, paid homage to the wardrobe one flaunts at a summer sojourn and aspired to display the joy of dressing up on a happy holiday. She masterfully blended floral and geometric prints and bright pops of colour, creating an array of looks that used blooming florals, meditative patterns and bold solids to add to the flair.

With the idea of going glam in a contemporary manner, Arpita made use of striking embellishments like sequins, mirror drop tassels embroidery, mother of pearl beads, coral beads and cowrie shells to elevate each ensemble. On view was a range of silhouettes such as low-waisted pants, panelled capes, bralettes, kaftans and fitted dresses, brought to life with an exciting colour palette of a mix of toasted orange, juicy mango and sage green.

And the shining showstopper was Shanaya Kapoor, giving off a flirtatious vibe in a mirror and sequinned hand-embroidered sari with a tube blouse.
