The summit at Copenhagen might have been a dampener,but designers across the globe this season,are into fashion with a conscience. Anything artificially processed is passé,on the ramp and off it.
Hemant Sagars latest collection,called Green plays around with eco-friendly fabrics like organic cotton-poplin,wild silk,khadi and handloom silk. The drapes are flowy,and Sagar makes ample use of camouflage embroidery and cutouts that mimic bamboo and frangipani leaves to enhance the natural feel. What you wrap around your body is what you wrap around your soulthis collection is a reflection of our green philosophy and our belief that eco-friendly and luxury can co exist, says Sagar.
Flowy silhouettes continue to dominate designer Ritu

Kumar,who has again used a blend of fabrics like raw silk,cotton and organic fabric. There are cheery kurtis and tunics in loose and easy silhouettes as well as tights. Tights are making a big impression this season,says Ritu.
