Shreeya developed a highly ambitious collection at 6Degree Studio during Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2017 that was inspired by Carine Roitfeld’s CR fashion book on Marie Antoinette.

Marie Antoinette, the last queen before the French Revolution was the ultimate risk taker of the time in terms of being bold and edgy. The designer’s take was to contemporize and make the fashion wearable for the modern Indian women. The silhouettes had a wide range including Duchess satin slip dresses, asymmetric skirts, jackets and shift dresses in soft pink and crimson with ruffle detailing.

White shirts under denim bustier and jackets, with pearl edging, teamed with a scarlet and pale pink tulle skirts with 3D flowers appliques were another impressive look. 

Organza, chiffon and denim were the fabrics used to create innovative textures along with pearl and crystals to reinvent the charm of the astonishing historical figure. The 18th century queen was known for her extreme fashion choices that were aspiring and holds an impact over young fashion enthusiasts today.

The designer improvised the jewels and accessories of that era and infused them as surface ornamentation while floral appliqués were another technique used to add to the ladylike approach to the line.
