"A whiff of nostalgia and introspection hit Sachin
and Babi Ahluwalia this season. The reasons are many: Not only are they
celebrating 20 years in business and marriage, but they’d also just
returned from a trip to Jaipur, India. There they reignited their love
for bejeweled pieces and lively prints, finding inspiration not only in
classically Indian ideas but also in the vestiges of the British empire
like botanical wallpapers and Jodhpur silhouettes. “Heritage” read a
crest at the bottom of the show notes; backstage, the pair spoke of a
fusing of cultures. The third culture in the mix here is that of
America, where the Ahluwalias have lived for decades, turning their
fabric business into a staple fashion collection of the society set.The
fusion couldn’t have gone better. Among the catwalk highs were a series
of what you could only call eveningwear anoraks, silky, floral, and
cinched at the waist with elastic drawstring. The fur-clad guests that attended the brand’s runway show at the
National Arts Club in Gramercy will probably want to snatch it up
immediately." - vogue.com
