Elli AvrRam walked the ramp for designer Shivani Choudhary at LFWxFDCI
Exaggerated shapes, cut-outs and contrasting textures defined designer Shivani Choudhary’s Spring Summer collection titled ‘The Space Between’. Actor Elli AvrRam walked as the showstopper for the designer. Contrasting fabrics were central to the collection Working with a monochromatic palette, the designer brought together exaggerated volumes, cutouts and layers to examine how clothes frame the body. Unconventional proportions extended this exploration, drawing attention to the spaces created within and around each silhouette. With colour kept restrained, the focus shifted to construction, texture and the relationship between the garment and its wearer. Contrasting fabrics were central to the collection. Woven patchwork combined jacquard, lightweight cotton nylon, handloom cotton and jersey, allowing firmer surfaces to sit alongside softer, stretchier ones. This interplay gave the clothes both definition and movement, balancing sculptural shapes with fluidity. The monochromatic line explored how fabric can hold its shape, fall around the body and create unexpected proportions Handworked details followed seams, edges and openings, highlighting the contours of the garments. The detailing reinforced the collection’s central thought: The areas left open could be as visually significant as those covered in fabric. With her recent collection Shivani continued her brand, ORCR’s, exploration of fabric and form, using a limited palette to give proportion and craftsmanship a stronger presence. You use AI every day.
