The collections of exquisite saris and cocktail dresses and gowns were a vision of beauty added to the glamour of the fabulous Satya Paul show on Women's Day at Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2010. With a title like 'Zen, Zest, Zip, Zap and Zing' the show proved to be everything that the theme promised. Colours, textures and shapes in varied forms floated down the catwalk in an easy fluid mode. Crushed fabrics, textured tones of soft smooth easy silhouettes in pastels, ranging from blue, pink, peach, lemon and soft orange gave the saris and clothe the perfect mood for the season. Puneet Nanda, the designer of the label cleverly dreamt up lehengas and saris in abstract designs while the fabric line up of organza, voile, georgette, crepe, satin, net, chiffon and brocade had the right touches of embellishments as mirror work twinkled and chikan work and aari embroidery, sequins and prints gave that glamorous fashion touch. The sheaths, sack dresses, gowns, kalidar kurtas and the gorgeous saris, some of them worn with churidars, glittered and dazzled with shading, colours and embellishments. There was a certain 60s touch about the western seductively fitted minis while the saris were opulent with lavishly embroidered pallavs and hand painted floral patterns or abstract forms. The collection of lehengas, cholis and dupattas added to the glitz of the purely ultra formal line.
