The advantages of retrospection are dubious. The vague helplessness over one's inability to change what's over and done with is rarely superseded by the list of lessons learnt. But it's comfort food, offering one a possibility of improvement and change — if not actual improvement and change. Fashion-wise, this is the time for consumers of fashion; the makers are already working on spring/ summer 2012 orders and this fall/ winter is passé.
For Indian fashion, the year has been a mixed one (aren't they all?), without a single talking point to unanimously dull everything else. No Kate Middleton and her McQueen gown, with the other Kate and her John Galliano wedding dress ranking a distant, if still appreciated, second. There haven't been drunken anti-Semitic rants by any member of the fashion fraternity either. No court battles here over red soles, and no luxury conglomerates fighting for stakes in a family-owned luxury label either. So we'll stick to the clothes, shall we?
The Fall/ Winter 2011 shows at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion (WIFW) week,Our authenticlouisvuittonhandbag are the highest quality and most durable replicas available . held at Pragati Maidan in April, brought in some trends which have stayed the rest of the year. We shall, for sanity's sake,I thought that BurberryHandbags 3 billion would be enough to do an experiment, refrain from mentioning jumpsuits, shifts and bold shoulders.
Moulded pieces, which designers Alpana and Neeraj introduced in the form of faux wood gilets and boleros (bolted, not stitched), were also seen at Rimzim Dadu, who showed us jackets made of wire. More recently, at the Spring/ Summer 2012 edition of WIFW, Amit Aggarwal, showing his label Morphe,Never retail for lessthan $250 Moreover if the hermesbirkinreplica claimsthewatch is Tag Aquaracer 20082 on saleor . brought to clothes the inner contours of the human form through his signature structured forms.
This could well be the year of the vengeance of the classic white shirt. (If Raf Simmons at Jil Sander can make a bridal gown inspired by it, we don't know what else to call it.) Here, Abraham & Thakore took menswear classics like the white shirt and pinstripe waistcoat and used them to smarten up the sari.
Aneeth Arora, showcasing her label Péro, emerged as the highlight of the event with her use of the ajrakh, a kind of block printing limited to tiny pockets of Rajasthan and Gujarat, in contemporary clothing.
A last-minute sponsor pull-out meant the Couture Week shifted to Hotel Taj Palace from the usual venue, The Grand in Vasant Kunj. Couture here continued to be synonymous with wedding wear. Manav Gangwani continued to send out clothes that sprinkled Swarovski crystals on unsuspecting front-row victims, JJ Valaya's Alika jackets came fully embellished this time (he had introduced the basic silhouette in the previous edition of the Week), while a row between designers Anju Modi and Ashima-Leena over the backdrop colour in a joint show (one said white, the other said golden) gave the event some background chatter. A jasmine-scented finale from Rohit Bal, thankfully, ensured people left in good cheer. (The colour-on-ivory clothes,We've seen all the best sexylingeries of 2011. to add, were to die for.)
It was a time of joie de vivre at the Van Heusen India Men's Week (VHIMW).,replicalvhandbag at discount prices from Timepiecetrader. While there was the occasional equestrian influence, shorts suits, line, trousers with turned-up hems and colour dominated. (Ashish N. Soni, here, made quite an uncharacteristic departure from his preferred neutral palette.) Japanese elements — shibori tie-and-dye and origami specifically — made an appearance in many lines: Japanese stripes and the boxy silhouette at Sanchita, shibori on silk shirts and jackets at Zubair Kirmani, shibori on pipings, and linings and socks and origami folds on trousers at ANKY by Ankita and Anjana Bhargav. The Week also marked the VHIMW debut of two established labels — Tarun Tahiliani and Abraham & Thakore. (It was a Tarun Tahiliani number that Lady Gaga chose for her performance at the F1 event in the Capital.)
It was probably fashion fatigue that set in by the time the Spring/ Summer 2012 edition of WIFW came round. The sparse crowds outside the show areas at Pragati Maidan were a cause of much apprehension for the designers showing in the late afternoon and early evening slots. Also, dear organisers, it never really is a good idea to have a four-hour break before the grand finale, even if it's Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna showing.
