A slice of bitter chocolate rarely fails to elicit any other emotion other than sheer ecstasy.

Varun Bahl's take on bitter chocolate however, left a lot to be desired.

The collection began with a modern update on the houndstooth and plaid prints, tactfully combined with his fascination for net, velvet and applique.

The high of seeing the innovative quickly dissolved in the constant recurrence of ideas reminiscent of his past collections.

We have been bowled over by his skirts and dresses veiled in net, detailed threadwork, applique, embroidered waistcoat details over double breast suits, and formal trousers with tonal details.

Varun is a dream weaver. The compulsion to reprise his glorious standing against the compulsion to merely show clothes on ramp, is what he needs to address urgently.
