New Delhi: The season of flounce and loose shapes is over, with power dressing making a comeback. Women's autumn and winter wear this year will be all about immaculate cuts, silhouettes and tight fits, especially around the waist.
Fashion unveiled for a social cause
Fits that accentuate the contours of the body, clinched waistlines and flared hemlines with contrasting drapes stood out as one of the major trends at the just concluded Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) here.
Designers said the trend was a carryover from the last season, which made an emphatic statement for the autumn-winter couture this time. "The last season - the spring-summer line - was characterized by flounces, though the gradual shift to tighter contours was apparent. This season, the look was definitely fitted and draped," designer Pratima Pandey, a NIFT graduate, said.
