N&S Gaia by Sidharth Sinha presented a wonderfully colourful collection today at Freemasons’ Hall for London Fashion Week. A contemporary label best known for their use of up-cycled and sustainable fabrics, N&S Gaia constantly strive to find new artisanal crafts and techniques that they can incorporate into their own designs.

A collection comprising primarily of dresses, the overall feeling of the spring 2017 show was one of elegant, luxurious exoticism. lfw-2-ss17-ns-gaia-erol-birsen-the-upcoming-23The colour palette was richly varied, moving from pastel pink to electric turquoise, and then onto slightly more earthy tones finished with vibrant details.lfw-2-ss17-ns-gaia-erol-birsen-the-upcoming-18Silhouettes were either long and column-like, or shorter and loose-fitting, often with soft folds and abstract appliqued details. The occasional cropped trouser was teamed with longline tunics or shirts for a breezily contemporary look. Two bodysuits – one dusty pink, one black – were worn beneath flowing kimono-coats that moved fluidly around and behind the body. lfw-2-ss17-ns-gaia-erol-birsen-the-upcoming-2The final few pieces were characterised by prettily intricate flowers and butterflies, hand-embroidered with a technique used by the Garo tribe in North East India entitled Dakmanda. Such embroidery added a traditional element to more avant-garde shapes that included a sculpted dress with wide, cape-like sleeves, as well as a shorter design with rippled folds at the waist.lfw-2-ss17-ns-gaia-erol-birsen-the-upcoming-22N&S Gaia SS17 is easy glamour perfectly suited to a sun-drenched poolside in a distant land.
