Boho Red Collection
Whatever you wear, you must look “edgy”
Fashion is like a drug. Once youâre hooked, you keep on indulging. Is this necessarily a bad thing? Letâs drop the whole debate for just a moment, and go back to indulging!
Over cocktails on Oct. 10 at the Riverfront Restaurant in Panjim, the trendy fashion boutique SĂSAâS put on a terrific fashion show to show off their new collection of casual wear, cocktail dresses, trousers and evening gowns.
Fashionistas of Goa, behold! This was the real deal!
Anuj Sharma from Ahmadabad opened the show with his unstitched garments in georgette and chiffon. Sharp silhouettes and edgy hemlines combined for a pleasant âBohemianâ look. The offerings were varied and creative: A grey jumpsuit with a dhoti pant, blue checked kurti with tights, leafy greens, layered plinks, slinky low slung backs in asymmetrical hemlines, off shoulder gowns, subtle silver panels and rushing on the yolk, ruffled sleeves, tones of brown and black combined in an ankle length dress slit on the sides. There were see-through drapes over mini skits, an elegant grey, turquoise, black and red combination. Anuj demonstrated how to drape the garments, aided by strategically sewed on buttons and rubber bands, which is the language of the new digital age.

Vishwanath Gupta, a Delhi-based designer, showed off the couture collection BOHO RED, focusing on vibrant colours. There were sensual silks over printed lining, dramatic combinations of grey, turquoise and black, and asymmetric and thigh-high hemlines. The flowing white dress with petit black print was eye catching, as was a green and turquoise combination embellished with lace and brocade. The male model in a textured white shirt with frayed seam jeans, got a loud applause from the ladies.
Rebecca Dsouza collection
The fluid relaxed collection âAnimal Instinctâ by Rebecca DâSouza, a Goan designer based in Baroda, brings out the âwild sideâ of you.
Anuj Sharma collection
Tiger, leopard, zebra prints with structured embellished yolks, sinuous hemlines, miniskirts, spaghetti straps, you have it all. A blend of brown, black and white stripes looked just right for a cocktail evening. A red silk mini worn under a black and white drape with red chiffon gold sequence stole, was elegant with a modern twist.
Delhi designer Diksha Khannaâs collection is a mix of asymmetrical hemlines with free flowing streamline gowns, all in pastel colours.
Aqua blue, salmon pink, peach and coffee browns elicit that âedgy lookâ with exciting dashes of copper, gunmetal silver, gold and lime – just right for Goa this sizzling October.
Go funky in a pink grey and beige paneled dress with a brocade yolk. See through garments are ruling the ramps, so try out the brown layered overthrow over a silver bra with a sequenced skirt for clubbing. For the young party males, check out the magenta pink trousers, and show off your abs with the short bolero.
Anuj Sharma collection
The show was choreographed by Antonio Pacheco. The models included Kezaia Caldeira (Grape Escaped Queen and Miss Summer Tulip 2014), Minolta Fernandes (Grape Escaped and Miss Tiara 2012), Schanel Da Costa (Miss Goa 2013), and Mayanka Pereira (1st runner up at Mega Model 2014). Merlyn and Belita sashayed down the catwalk in gorgeous 5â stilettos and Wavell, the gorgeous male model, carried the show well.
Diksha Khanna Collection
SOSAâS owner Myra Silveira was excited about this, her first fashion show, which was well attended. âMy clients in Goa are not partial to heavily embellished garments as people in the North, and keeping this in mind, I specifically ask my designers to tone down on the embellishmentsâ, she explained.
Rebecca Dsouza collection
The image you project singles you out, and whatever you wear you must look âedgyâ. The bottom line in fashion is to choose an outfit that complements you. And, you donât have to be a teenager to wear designer clothes. Some of the worldâs highest paid models (Gisele, Abbey Lee, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, to name some) are in their forties. Of course having a tall, contoured body and sexy legs to carry off these garments doesnât hurt.
