Goa fashion event awash in color

India Beach Fashion Week was held in Goa, February 13 to 14, 2023.

Vikram Phadnis launched his maiden resort wear collection. With bright greens, tie dye, and hints of traditional patterns, the collection was youthful, wearable, and playful. The free-flowing silhouettes reflected Vikram’s love for bohemian prints, cuts and styling. The clothes were comfortably chic, but since he was showcasing them at the curtain-raiser he glammed them up with elaborate hair-dos and funky makeup. Designer and former Miss Teen Universe Srishti Kaur’s collection was designed to blend art and fashion and mixed dramatic silhouettes with glittering embellishments. Actress Sakshi Malik walked the ramp as showstopper for Kaur wearing a tactile silver dress featuring intricate bead work and a dramatic neck piece. Open-air ramps, including India’s longest ramp and the first one facing the sea, made it a one-of-its-kind fashion festival. There were designated festival areas and brand engagement booths, makeover zones and experience zones with store installations and villa blocks within the main show area and even an after-party conclave zone. The event was presented by Ikonic and powered by Timex. India Beach Fashion Week’s experience partner was Dubai-based record label Royal Falcon Music Production which provided live music for the shows.
