Pria Kataaria Puri never lets her clients down…had an opportunity to chat with some of them at her recent pop up, and the general consensus was that “You can pack a suitcase in a great big hurry and know that a PKP kaftan or maxi is relatively unfussy and crease free and won’t add kilos to your luggage.” This Spring/Summer show which concluded the Avenue 54 SummerFest in Santa Cruz Mumbai, brought new essences out in addition to the refreshing Santorini palette. Pria’s models went through a transformation in her hi-glam evening wear. A Great Gatsby-inspired black and gold line became an unapologetic nod to old Hollywood decadence. She played with organza and translucent capes, turbans, fascinators…layers and sheer caped-gowns, revealing body suits just beneath…it was seduction meeting highly wearable style. Resort gone a bit wild child…Resort gone into Cinderella zone, actually! No Prince would ignore a giraffe wedge left behind by any of THOSE women! Bravo to a highly wearable designer who can be bought and worn immediately off the rack…and whose clothes don’t sit stiffly at size 8…
