Jaya Misra SS15, Jabong Online Fashion Week allegorically transformed us into kids in a candy store! Titled "Go Candy—D", the Kolkata-based designer—who's the toast of Bollywood with her red carpet looks—delivered gossamer-thin georgette and chiffon draped, asymmetrical dresses in frosted candy hues.
From long, languid dresses to structured knitted and satin numbers, there's a certain romance in the appealing softness. The designer is renowned for resort and eveningwear, and while she incorporated slick detailing and floral or graphic prints into these looks, the collection was about candy; the shades weren't too saturated or too wimpy, so it's perfect while travelling to any destination or simply an evening out. But was there substance beneath the whimsy? Absolutely! Many of these looks—the fuchsia gown with floral detailing, for example—is a sell-out. Such looks form a grounding force that allows Jaya to indulge her romantic aesthetic.
