For their
Cruise Resort 2015 collection, India’s well knows swimwear designer duo, Shivan
& Narresh also known as the pioneers of Bikini sari, took inspiration from
the artwork of the French
Post-Impressionist painter Henri Rousseau. They saw his art work back in 2008
during their visit to the Musée D’Orsay in Paris.
Titled, ‘Henri’s Garden’, the sharp
cut-outs and flowy silhouette of the collection played around three underlying
print stories – geometric cabana in Rousseau’s signature colour palette, an
abstraction of the Artist’s foliage tips, and a juxtaposition of vintage
vegetable against sharp geometric shapes.
With a soft and vibrant colour
story of ivory, yolk yellow, saffron, cerulean, nude and signature black, the
collection offered range of swimwear and resort wear pieces such as bikinis,
trikinis and maillots, including jumpsuits, rompers, maxi dresses and kaftans.
Palazzos, jewelled swimwear and dresses, resort lehengas and saris were an interesting
addition to the collection.
In totality the collection was a translation
of Rousseau’s depiction of jungles wherein elements have been taken and
interpreted in a modernist style.
