Designer Aishwarya mesmerised the audience with her stylish yet comfortable collection, Bloom which is part of a luxury brand of women’s western wear, Escape that has been blooming across India for the past five years. The spring-summer collection was inspired by the freshness of flowers and the softness of petals that come alive during the season. A stunning array of dayto-night clothing that captures the freshness of the season and features cotton wear that is soft and light, perfect for those warmer days. Talking about her exquisite brand and collection Aishwarya said, “The word ‘Escape’ for us means a zone where you feel the most confident and true to yourself. Everyone has an Escape zone, be it, having a cup of tea in the morning or taking a dance class. You feel yourself and are not judged by the outside world. At Escape, we aim at making clothes which make you feel confident and true to yourself. For our springsummer collection, Bloom, we were inspired by the delicate petals of the flowers which are soft and comforting on the skin and which reflect through our designs. We were also inspired by the colour palette of the spring which adds to our existing colour palette.”
