VAISHALI S Spring-Summer 2024 COUTURE COLLECTION
“I am Nature”
Vaishali S’ Couture Spring-Summer 2024 collection celebrates freedom of expression and individualism.
Paris, 22nd January 2024: A third couture collection in Paris after becoming the first Indian woman invited to showcase at Haute Couture Week, Vaishali emits a powerful statement of freedom of expression and individualistic lifestyle choices, leveraging her beloved heritage.
Each Vaishali S collection is but a new step into her seamless journey of self-discovery through fashion. Her last collection “Abyss” was about diving deep into the darkness of the ocean (or the self) to discover the inner colors and beauties that lie beneath.
This season’s collection is a realization that there is no distinction between nature and us, that we are nature, and nature is us. Vaishali S’ Couture SS24 collection titled “I am Nature,” explores the profound connection between the external world and our inner selves. This collection serves as a poignant call for a change in perspective, for a self-empowerment into styling traditional handwoven textiles for the most irreverent and personal self-expression.
“I am Nature” is a mature blend of more wearable yet as much creative garments, with a fine balance of precious hand-woven fabrics from different states of India with new hand work; a powerful expression of what the designer has inside and her deep connection with Nature.
The collection was complemented by statement pieces from the famous Parisian jeweler Lydia Courteille which perfectly extended the message enhancing the luxury allure.
