Fashion

Babita Malkani presented her stylish collection called “Urbane Nomad-ism” at Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2012.

Babita was inspired by the earthiness of the African Bushmen of Tanzania and Zanzibar.

The striking colours of the region were reflected in her outfits as tangerine, aqua, deep blue, matte brown, blush and sap green came together in harmony with the varied dyeing techniques to wrap slit skirts, drop crotch jumpsuits, fluid dhoti pants, layered poncho dresses, looped tubes, pleated palazzos.

Did it get us in the ‘Out of Africa’ mood? We would say it did.

Our favourite was the burgundy outfit (photo 3)
