Sarah Jane at Satya Paul show at Lakme Fashion Week 2011 Day 5

SATYA PAUL PRESENTED THE GLAMOROUS JEWELS OF THE SEA COLLECTION FOR SUMMER/RESORT 2011 AT LAKMÉ FASHION WEEK. March 15, 2011, Mumbai: When the Satya Paul label appears on the ramp the look is truly feminine, glamorous and exciting. “The Jewels of the Sea” collection presented by Satya Paul for Summer/Resort 2011 at Lakmé Fashion Week was an ethnic and western offering comprising saris, lehengas and serene western creations.

Using the inspirations of the theme cleverly, Satya Paul had a mix of Lurex and glitter net for its sheer quality and had prints and embellishments to create the elements of the sea.

Divided into three segments the fabric choice was vast starting with chiffon, crepe, georgette and satin along with textured taffeta, organza, net and silk prints. Embroidery was added to create drama for the creations. Dresses, gowns, tunics, kaftans, blouses and pareos floated down the ramp in dazzling colours.

The Ultramarine line was feminine and fluid in vast shades of blue with hints of lime green for the perfect resort look. Opening with a gorgeous Spanish style ruffled organza lehenga and corset, the show moved to embroidered saris with sexy long sleeved blouses, empire line gowns with sequined bodices, short slinky georgette slit sleeve tops, and shaded layered lehenga, choli, dupatta trio.

The Multi Marine collection had nautical marine prints with shimmering solids and lace, sequins sheeting, foiling and rhinestones that added to the exotic appeal of the collection. Here it was magnificent net gowns, sequined sheaths in green and red, multicoloured twinkling saris with undersea flora embroidery, a red sheeting mini topped with a printed kaftan and ended with a printed embroidered bridal mermaid style lehenga, choli and veil.

The X-ray Marine Look showed bold black and white graphic prints with crystals, stones and large splashes of pleating for that ideal cocktail wear option. Here the two colours were given a more lavish treatment as black will power lace sheath, white gown with embroidered bodice, tasseled pallav saris and ruffled sari blouses were a sensational line for night time glamour.

The showstopper was former Miss India Sarah Jane Dias in a magnificent red ruffled hem lehenga and corset, encrusted with crystals.

With the “Jewels of the Sea” collection by Satya Paul the label presented one of the finest and most glamorous collections ever seen on the ramp.
