Straight from Babi Ahluwalia’s own lips, Sachin and Babi’s Spring-Summer 2010 collection is “effortless chic.”\u00a0 Although the husband and wife duo are fairly new to the fashion design world, their names are already known to designers such as Escada, Oscar de la Renta and Vera Wang, all attuned to the husband and wife team’s established work with beautiful embroideries and impressive fabric finishes.<\/p>\n

\"SB1\"
\nThe models wear genuine Panama Hats provided by Benn Jae for Cutler & Ecua-Andino. Inspiration for the collection, according to Sachin, comes from the women he has encountered in his life, such as his mother.\u00a0 He described these women as natural and full of drama. The expressed belief is that this is a woman who does not conform. She will wear the clothes, not let the clothes wear her.<\/p>\n

\"SB2\"<\/p>\n

Sachin and Babi are mostly experienced with using lavish chiffon for their collections, but have now experimented with Jersey.\u00a0 Babi mentions that they wanted to see how they could display texture using jersey.<\/p>\n

\"SB3\"
\nOne of the more interesting pieces is this black ensemble (below, one of Sachin\u2019s favorites). Sachin explains that his inspiration came from a scaffolding project that he witnessed in the city.\u00a0 There were many large black ropes that overlapped.\u00a0 He tried using actual rope to make the garment, but ultimately found that the material would be too heavy. Instead, this less literal piece was conjured.<\/p>\n

Some of the chiffon pieces had a sequin slip underneath, which added an interesting extra layer of complexity to those looks.<\/p>\n

\"SB5\"<\/p>\n

One of Babi\u2019s favorites was a dress that had been tucked into a light blue trouser. It looks like a free spirited thing\u00a0 to wear, and exemplifies the woman Sachin & Babi hope to impress and serve through their collection.<\/p>\n

\"SB6\"
\nSachin mentions how this collection is full of separates. Oh, and how we loved the separates! All were full of color and exquisite patterns and embroideries.<\/p>\n
