Summer is here and now is the best time to invest in those billowy dresses, anti-fit tops and pajamas that moonlight as trousers, made with breathable fabrics {think soft, soft cotton}, easygoing silhouettes and relaxed tailoring. And making your lives easier are we, with our picks of five spring summer collections by indie designers that we are currently lusting over.
Five Spring Summer 2016 Collections we are loving by Indie Design Labels
Anomaly
Bhane
We love every single piece of this new limited edition summer collection {for both men and women} from Bhane. After all, the shirts, wide-legged pants, dresses, tops, and summer jackets have all been fashioned out of gorgeous ikat fabric.
Price: INR 2,200 upwards

Olio
This collection hasn’t launched yet, but from what we have been seeing on Olio’s Instagram feeds, we can’t wait for the Sunny Side Up line to hit the virtual shelves. Eggs done sunny-side-up patterned on a dress? Buttons in sunshine yellow against a grey tone? Yes please. And according to their Facebook page, the collection will launch this month.

The Summer House
These guys know how to do whites just right. The Summer House’s new collection The Convent {inspired by the nun’s white habit and the time spent at a boarding school} offers tops and dresses {our favourite is the free-flowing Sylvia} with accents such as piping, ruffles, cut-out sleeves, pleats, and gathers, all made out of pristine white 100 per cent organic cotton. What’s not to love!
Price: INR 1,800 upwards

Khara Kapas
Summer does need a bit of colour and flowy dresses. And taking care of these two aspects is the Spring 2016 collection of Khara Kapas. Take your pick from shibori-patterned swing and drop waist dresses, block-printed button dresses, and ikat maxis and paisley printed wrap maxis.
Price: INR 3,000 upwards
