High Street Fashion - Summer fashion in fluid fabrics

Global Desi’s Resort 2015 collection is made fluid with LIVA – a new age natural fabric that infuses fluidity into garments. Designer Anita Dongre’s inspiration for this collection, she says, was pure joy. “I wanted the Colour Me Happy collection to reflect the cheerful, fluid feel of this season. The peppy vibe is set through the use of vibrant prints in bold colours, free-flowing silhouettes and an effortless mix-and-match style – a boho-chic summer look with a delightful twist. And the collection has come alive with the soft, breathable drapes of LIVA. It’s the perfect fabric for fashion this season,’’ she adds.

Flow with the vibe in comfy maxi dresses, popular tunics, flirty crop tops, trendy high waist skirts and easy-to-wear T-shirt dresses. Each one of them happily flaunts floral prints, vivid colours and pastel hues in these fluid fabrics.The Colour Me Happy Collection is available at all Global Desi stores and select multi-brand outlets.
