“Lunar Grace,” a collection designed by Janya K. M., an undergraduate student of the Diploma in Fashion Design at JD Institute of Fashion Technology, Bengaluru. Inspired by the mysterious beauty of the lunar eclipse, the collection is dedicated to living in the moment—a celebration of transformation, power, and fleeting beauty.
Lunar Grace has weaved into the designs: stiff geometric structures in the form of curves, resulting in silhouettes that mimic celestial movements. Each garment is made in the finest satins and georgettes with tones of black, silver, and off-white colours that reflect the dance of light and shadow that an eclipse causes.
What makes this collection unique is the innovative usage of 3D details and embellishments—cracked mirror trims, pearls, and rhinestones. The latter symbolises the fragmentation of light, moonlight, and the mystery of shadow, hence adding depth and dimension to designs. As models walk down the runway, some hidden embroidery pops out, a little like when an eclipse begins to reveal its breathtaking beauty.
Lunar Grace embrace the present moment, just as an eclipse captivates with its fleeting magic. It’s a reminder of the power of transformation, where strength and grace coexist. With every stride, the collection reveals the beauty of change, leaving us in awe of the moment’s ephemeral yet lasting impact—just like the celestial phenomenon it draws inspiration from.
