Fashion Week in INdia

This past week was the Willis Lifestyle India Fashion Week and the designers and shows provided much eye candy that strutted the runway. Many of the shows were filled with numerous fashions that were fusions of mixed styles of the East and West; that made the garments into delicate yet bright ensembles. In fact, it almost stumped me that amid all of these Bohemian fashions that are popular in trends today, that there aren’t more Indian inspired lines. The fabrics were outstanding in texture and many designers mixed traditional dyeing methods with patterns that practically jumped right off the runway at you. The best that I could compare the clothing to that came down the runway would be beautiful exotic birds. The designers mixed a variety of patterns and notions that made all of the clothing irresistible. And of course none of the fashions would be considered vulgar or showy, but there were many fabulously sexy cuts that showed off the models curves and assets.
The high-fashion world in India has slowly grown more popular over the past few years, but the designers are skilled and the market is growing for these young, hip fashions. Many designers are starting to have famous Bollywood actors and actresses model these fashions down the runway to help appeal the clothes to the masses. But the clothing ranged in inspirations from traditional Indian garb, geisha-wear, and thoughts of love, which provided a very wide range in color, style, and silhouette. Many of the fashions were very wearable right off the runway.
I encourage everyone to check out these new designs from India’s fashion week and judge them for yourself. Either go online to Women’s Wear Dailey or www.in.news.yahoo.com. I promise that you will be blown away at the untapped beauty of the designs and the textiles.
