Radhika Mahesh Jhalani was awarded the first prize. Her winning collection was inspired by the heady combination of the fully ripened gold alphonso mango and the brilliance of the summer sun. Second prize went to designer Sri Raghunath Jana, whose collection was inspired by the natural beauty of creepers. Third prize was awarded to Krishma S.Jain, whose design is intended for women who value their traditional roots, yet dare to experiment with the contemporary. As an extra touch to the golden evening, the guests also participated in the judging in the ‘Audience Choice Award’ sponsored by D’Damas, by voting for their favourite entry. This prize was awarded to Reema Gangwal who took the traditional Indian “dupatta” and added a reflective quality to it by using gold chains.
First Prize
Designer: Radhika Mahesh Jhalani from Mumbai
The combination of the fully ripened golden alphonso mango and the
brilliance of the summer sun was the inspiration for the creation.
This is realised in the interaction of positive and negative space.
Second Prize
Designer: Sri Raghunath Jana from Kolkata
The design is inspired by the natural beauty of creepers. This theme
is extended with the entwining of the jewellery around the neck,
thus using the natural beauty of the piece to enhance the beauty
of the wearer.
Third Prize
Designer: Krishma S. Jain from Bangalore
This design is intended for women who value their traditional roots,
yet dare to experiment with the contemporary. These pieces are a
combination of form, rhythm and vibrancy, blending wood with white
and yellow gold.
Audience Choice Award
Designer: Reema Gangwal from Aurangabad
The design takes the traditional “dupatta” and adds a
reflective quality to it by using gold chains. This produces a fashionable
look that is enhanced by the mango designs.
