  The lane bursts of mellow yellow and tangy tangerines. Showcasing the artwork of the student’s  Biennale, the paintings’ true colors revealed itself, as the wall slowly chipped off. As we shifted our  eyes through the strokes of  mauve and faded indigo, the colors swiftly spun its way  into Shiyaz’s  shirt and plum   trousers. Nothing’s more  arty than a ‘beret in hand’! Time travelling to our flower  doodles, here’s our take on a floral shirt! Keeping it short, here’s an experimentation of a blazer    and a graphic tee.

  A Kunjali Shrank Road- Mattancherry

  A road that isn’t shrunk,but an explosion of eclectic       patterns, dizzying stripes, and worn out doors.          Inspired by the doors, Kiran was in the blues;
from the aquas in the Hawaiian printed shorts, to his  navy blue shirt and the band of his fedora. Taking a long walk in jogger jeans and a casual messenger bag, Kiran was in line with the shutter’s stripes but in contrast with the striking red. As the night set in,the lanes were sparingly illuminated, but the house with the lime green walls and a dithered terracotta door stood out. Opening the wardrobe doors to Kiran’s pink shirt, we joked away.

Rose Street- Fort Kochi

The street had a surprising touch in it, especially when the colors go into   hiding. Whether it’s chameleon-like walls, peeping ‘Guess Who’ characters  or moss infested stairways lined with litmus blue tint, Kim’s street panache was a bolt from blue. Wound up near a staircase, Kim wore a high slitted  turquoise tulip skirt paired with a lively orange top and Aztec print blazer – inspired by the graphic prints of the movie posters. Her maxi dress breezed  through the teal splashed wall. She accessorised her hair with trinkets- the Fort Kochi bohemian spirit. Finally, as fast as the dash of the auto, there was a bolt of electric blue, quirky yellow and red prints on the harems. Paired with it was a grey cropped top that blended with the white-washed stairway.

River Street- Fort Kochi

At River Road, there are a few things you can’t miss: the canopy of trees, the cobblestone and all the crafted jewellery and handicrafts, and, of course, a few wild spirited animals! Meenu wore apistachio dress inspired by the foliage of leaves and teamed it up with a casual denim jacket and metallic pumps – inspired by the cobblestone. As she wore her cat eye sunglasses, Meenu commented that wandering cats must be quite enviousof the shades. The street was dappled with colors, especially of the souvenirs, necklaces and jewelled boxes. The photographs on the postcards struck our eye. There, an inspiration for Meenu’sblack and white photography dress and pink sequined ballet pumps!
