Colour-blocked cords. Simple silhouettes. Rimzim Dadu’s collection brought to the ramp a modern village. For her Fall/Winter collection, Dadu has worked with patola weaves, chiffons and leather. Her

experimentation with shredding, then twisting and finally reassembling the cords of these fabrics into drapes and constructs is delightful. Her woven cord blouses and skirts were striking as were the chiffon saris with iced

pallid. We especially loved the woven cord brogues and the corded sari on Kanishtha.

daytwoBy Prerna Singh& Meghna SharMa

Trust Kallol Datta to take a seductive red or a serene white or a concept as cheerful as pop art and turn it into something

morbid. When the romance is over, what is left of love is what Paranoia Pronoia brought to the ramp. Darkness, depression, obsession. Antifits,

deconstructed drapes and blood-filled prints. And quite contrary to perceptions attached to all of these, Kallol made it oh-so-glamorous. Only adding to the juxtaposition of the cheery and the dreary was the music, happy notes married to grim lyrics. Curiously chic.

Simply CompliCated

Vaishali S’ Bhinna Shadja brought to the ramp garments that were a combination of contemporary constructs embellished with woven cords and classic drapes in Chanderi silk. The

woven cords were everywhere - on the bodices and on the collars, where they lent a layered, jacketed effect, and even on the booties, which was especially endearing. The colour palette was serene, melodious even: white, black, slate grey, peachy orange, cobalt

blue. And adding a finishing touch was the lace detailing on the hem, the collar and the yoke.

Anand Bhushan took an industrial turn with a twist through feminine accents. DNA and chromosome-inspired motifs dominated the collection while silhouettes ranged from

linear to structured. The collection was all about blacks and whites with grungy spikes juxtaposed with feminine pearls. What stood out the most were the masculine shoes and leather capelets. Anand amalgamated leather trims, aluminium shells and plastic details to

create linear shapes. What stood out were the masculine shoes and leather capelets.

Ashima and Leena presented an Indian collection with oriental and Islamic influences. The garments were rich, luxurious, festive, yet easy-to-wear and comfortable - even the

lehengas had pockets! The teal blue, aqua green, coral, gold, off-white and beige in printed raw silk and combined with brocaded borders made for luxurious elegance. Lending fluidity to the look were pleated georgette palazzos and underskirts. We loved the

back-slit saris, the knotted pallus and the blouses with interesting backs and details.

This collection was a result of Rahul Mishra’s love for innovation and 

experimentation. His patterned tie and dye was unique in motif and in that it is done on a specially created Merino wool silk mix fabric. Use of organza and jersey lent his garments a fine finish, drawing our attention to the exquisite quality of his creations. Fabric was the clear winner, so the silhouettes had to be clean. We loved how the hand-cut paper artwork by George Sebastian added to the show’s charm. We flipped on the jacket that carried on the shoulders the 3D cityscape. And worth a mention were the sheer panelled skirts in black and white beneath tie and dye tunics and aunty shoes with cord detailing. A collection truly deserving of the International Woolmark prize it won him at the Milan Fashion Week.

layered luxury

Charu Parashar had her models huddled in circle, rotating slowly. That’s the mysterious note the show started off on. And it moved on to brighter colours in an amalgamation of alluring silhouettes like

embroidered peplum tops paired with pencil skirts, baroque pant suits to feminine maxis and jumpsuits. What we liked the most were the embroidered capes paired with flowy saris and sequinned trousers paired with equally

flamboyant jackets. Something that will definitely add a dash of glamour to the coming season.

malini ramaniRamani turned to tribal influences for embellishments

a StruCtured Symphony BlaCk magiC

Black and white, black and gold, black, white and gold, black and orange, black and fuchsia... Black was the mainstay of

Malini Ramani’s Glamourette. And she used it to create fluid silhouettes - skirts, stitched saris, sari gowns, kaftans, flowy dresses, all very sexy,

very alluring. Ramani turned, yet again, to tribal influences for embellishments, with plenty of fringes, tassels and mirror work, especially on the shoulders. We loved the metallic florals in the collection and the thigh-high slits were sexy, to say the least.

Pratima Pandey brought sheers into the winter fashion lexicon, without having them look misplaced. Heavy layering

was how she did it. Besides using Chanderi silks, there were prints, there was embroidery, there were sequins, there was appliqué. There were florals, there were geometrics and there were nature motifs. Yet there was a certain continuity in her collection, which she called Singing Sparrow. Even in the punctuation that came from the occasional menswear. There was a uniformity in the Indian silhouettes, which she placed in a very Parisian context. Unsurprising, considering her inspiration came from Edith Piaf’s La Vie En Rose. A striking piece was a velvet shawl with gold embellished border - very Parisian, very Indian.

Nikasha Tawade’s Bibi - Lady of Leisure had all the shades of blush you would like - pink, peach, blush, coral, and all ombréd, too. Florals abound in her collection, from gold

sequinned floral embellishments to hand painted floral prints, which were placed subtly (at the back, on an inner layer or on the borders). She played with plain as well as Benarasi georgettes. We loved the sheer palazzos and chiffon dupattas.

amit gtHis creations featured embroidered bodice and risque slits

After dressing up Hollywood celebrities, Amit Gupta of the label Amit GT showed in India after four years. And what a fitting comeback it was. Keeping his focus on red carpet-

worthy gowns, Amit presented an array of silhouettes in a wide palette. Ranging from just classic to the heavily embellished, his creations featured embroidered bodice and risque slits. We liked the midnight blue gowns with delicate embroidery, some with

tulle layers while others with falling straight finished with a mermaid trail.

Simple, clean silhouettes and bright, bold colours meld together to bring to life the calming spirit of traditional design sensibilities. Just like the serenity brought forth by

the Iznik tiles of Islamic architecture. Myoho’s Soul Souk played on red, teal and black silk with white and gold detailing, and the soulfulness of Morocco glided onto the ramp just as an old tune slides into your head, effortlessly. The accessories gave it just that

extra ethnic edge. We couldn’t help but notice the foot thongs.

Inspired by a very colourful tribe - the Maoris, Nachiket presented a collection that boasted all kinds of silhouettes. From flowy gowns to dresses and saris to trousers, he gave us his rendition of the New

Zealand natives in a unique way. Drawing on the costumes, tattoos and predominant motifs like silver ferns, which are an important part of the Maori iconography, his presentation struck a fine balance. We liked the bright fringe detailing that stood out on all the creations

and gowns and trousers with sheer panels which were oh-so-feminine yet very sexy.

Masaba Gupta, who has worked with Metallics in her fall-winter collection, isn’t worried about livinG up to expectations. she trusts her perspective, india’s Graceful sense of fashion and her Mother’s unbiased opinion

She is the quintessential new-age designer ready to carry the baton passed on to her by predecessor Puneet Nanda, former design head of Satya Paul who left behind a discerning legacy. But Masaba Gupta isn’t

weighed down by the responsibility of living up to his glowing legacy - she, rather, is very optimistic about being part of this label famed for bringing the sari back in vogue.

“I was taken on board for the fresh perspective I had to offer and make it commercially viable. Though I must admit that it hasn’t been easy – there has been a constant battle between artistic pursuit and retail. The group has given me enormous freedom to do what I think will work, which is great - it is like designing for my own label House of Masaba,” says the enthusiastic twentysomething.

Masaba agrees that trends are what India creates. Her last line was a homage to sportswear - and she has done it again this time in metallics. So the nifty sandals she has designed will be a skittish alternative for trend watchers who like a bit of shine in their shoes.

“I did knee pads last season, and then Chanel did them, so somewhere I think I am on the right track.

By asMita aGGarwal

‘I did knee pads last season, and then Chanel did them, so somewhere I think I am on the right track’ Asmita Aggarwal has been writing on fashion for more than

20 years. She has worked with leading publications like The Hindustan Times, The Asian Age and India Today. 

But I do like monochromes and colour blocks, and I must say I am a tad tired of neons - I have had my fill of them,” she laughs.

Her autumn-winter 2014 narrative has crackling jackets, cardigans and palazzos that have a strangely placid feel; and she believes this is going to sweep the catwalk. “These are for the modern woman who can get off a plane and head straight for a meeting,” Masaba says. “I have kept this winter muddy, with shades of burgundy and brown, along with nudes - and a bit of jewels thrown in. The beauty of this line is that we have introduced wool petticoats to stop you from freezing when you wear a sari at night. Heavyweight lycra and knits are further supplemented to give you a snug feel.”

Not a fan of embroidery, Masaba admits it is one of her weaknesses - along with being a very emotional person who takes people at face value and doesn’t quite understand why some people always have an agenda. “I love prints, but bling is something that is beyond me. I just don’t know how to work with it, so it becomes a challenge when I do couture,” she says.

Criticism doesn’t really affect Masaba, unless it is personal. “If it is constructive, I am willing to learn, as most writers tend to gush anyway about collections they haven’t even seen,” she says, smiling.

With her mom being her worst critic, she knows who to go to for an older woman’s perspective and experience. “As a designer, I feel a collection must explore facets it hasn’t before, even while keeping its signature intact,” she observes. “I don’t want to roll out clothes that are like Zara or Forever 21 creations - they have a mass ideology attached to them. That’s why I always show my line to my mom first, as she can immediately tell me where I goofed up. In a way I am so thankful she is such an unbiased person,” she says.

The punk trend was hot on Day 2 of WIFW. Make-up expert Sonic Sarwate tells us how to get the look

Winter make-up is generally a play of dark shades, but this year, the season will be darker and starker.

That’s what the expert make-up team from MAC predicts. Mohawks, coal black lips and stark faces reminiscent of Eighties’ punk were the guidelines for the looks created for designers Anand Bhushan and Nachiket Barve on Day 2 of WIFW by the MAC team.

Do it rightHeaded by Sonic Sarwate, senior artist at MAC, the team gave the models a dramatic yet wearable look. Here is how you can recreate it:

Keep the face clean with a foundation. Apply a tinge of colour on the eyelids; Sarwate uses beige. He uses a MAC Pro Paint Stick in dark grey to outline the lips

Wills Lifestyle hosted a four-day Twitter campaign called “Wills Rock the Ramp”. Guests were to tweet their most stylish selfies, and the winner got a chance to walk the ramp with WIFW models sporting the latest Wills Lifestyle collection. In just four days the campaign received 500 entries and a million impressions, its reach widened by Wills Lifestyle social media forums such as Facebook and partners such as Myntra.com.

The top four participants were chosen as “Ramp Rockers” and were invited to be part of a Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week. A show was held on Day 2 at the WIFW, with a video production crew making it available online on the brand’s website.

“The winners were selected on basis of their tweets on why they would want to walk the ramp at WIFW with a stylish selfie ,” said Atul Chand, chief executive, lifestyle retailing division, ITC.

Get the black lips right

and fills in with a black MAC Pro Pigment to achieve the dark matte finish. To end, he dusts the face with an invisible powder, curls the lashes and grooms the brows.

Classic, not fadSarwate swears by MAC’s Ruby Woo lipstick. “The Ruby Woo provides a pop of bright red that livens up any skin tone. It is evergreen,” he says. Try a classic look

with red lips, a light bronzer for natural radiance and kohl-lined eyes.

“Ramp make-up trends are very different from an everyday look,” says Sarwate, using the popular white eye highlighter as an example. “The white highlighter, though an interesting trend, suits dramatic ramp shows more than a visit to the local market.” Try it with utmost caution, is his advice.

Sarwate:‘Toned down black lips can

be used for everday

makeup.’

A menu fit for fAshionistAsSmoke House Deli is celebrating a coming together of fashion and food at the WIFW, with its innovative and interesting programme ‘Deconstruct’, which gastronomically translates a designer’s style and collection into appetising food and drinks. Needless to say, it has found healthy favour among the fashion enthusiasts.

“When we launched Deconstruct, we had Manish Malhotra, Rohit Bal, Shivan & Narresh, and other big names from the fashion world on our menu. Earlier, inspired by Play Clan’s illustration of Banaras, we had also created a yummy crunchy chaat with hints of saffron and incorporated Gauri

& Nainika’s elegant signature style in cold-cut bloom - parmaham, pineapple and cheese,” said Siddharth Mathur, Director, Head-Food and Beverage.

Talking about the connection between Smoke House Deli and fashion, he said, “Ever since we launched Smoke House Deli,

we have enjoyed a loyal customer base in the fashion fraternity. We

have also been associated with India Fashion Week from the beginning and have a strong connect with it The concept of the restaurant is chic and

classy, and gels well with the fashion world.”

‘We have had Manish

Malhotra and Rohit Bal on our menu’

Fashion and weddings have always been great Friends. but at the wiFw this year, do we see the big Fat indian wedding reinventing itselF?

While newspapers, blogs and magazines are busy focussing on who is wearing what at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week, it is

easy to forget fashion’s real significance, its socio-cultural importance. It reflects what is happening socially, politically and economically. Day 1 of the Fashion Week reflected the political and economic mood of today. The elections are coming up and the economy is in a delicate state. Fashion knows this and is reacting by banking on the big fat Indian wedding.

Last year, for many it was the wedding that proved to be the money spinner. When it came to festivals such as Diwali and Karva Chauth, the consumer was conservative with his or her spending, but for the wedding, it was spend, spend and spend. The Indian wedding market is valued at $25 billion today, and while there are fashion weeks that focus on heavy bridals, there is more to the Indian wedding than just bridal couture. Even guests need wedding wear, don’t they?

One of India’s leading fashion columnist, Sujata Assomull Sippy was the launch editor of Harper’s Bazaar, has also worked with ELLE, Verve and Man’s World. Read her in various leading lifestyle publications.

This may be why designers feel wedding couture does not have to be shown only at bridal weeks. Anupama Dayal showed clothes that made for a beach wedding. Her boho look was about colour, floral prints and woven saris that were highlighted with embroidery. Vineet Bahl looked back to the days of Pakeezah and gave a spin to the anarkali. Tarun Tahiliani showed occasionwear fit for a wedding function. Shantanu & Nikhil may

have been inspired by the Victorian era but their lehenga jackets

and peplum saris could well be for anyone who has a

winter wedding to attend.There is no question

that a large part of fashion is about the wedding. And designers

know this. Everything about it - from gifting to

dressing the bride - has plum fashion prospects.

In these times of uncertainty, fashion is playing it safe and banking on the Indian wedding. But at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week we see the big fat Indian wedding reinvent itself and become less conformist.  

Wooed by the voWs

‘Fashion Weeks are stressFul, but FdCi looks aFter us Well’your long association with the Fashion week:It’s been a long journey, during which I have seen many models become supermodels and then vanish, and debut designers become celebrities. The growth of the Fashion Week has been phenomenal and it has boosted my creativity too. But even today, it’s challenging and exciting to create an innovative and unique look for every show.

Emotions run high during these days and by the last day of the Fashion Week, we end up doing make-up on more than 400 faces. I have had fights, I have cried and laughed, and gone insane at times, but I have never walked out. The Fashion Design Council of India has looked after us really well.

the changing scenario:Make-up and hairstyling for fashion shows have seen a sea change. Earlier, it was more dramatic, loud and even over the top. But now it’s cleaner, sharper and edgier. We keep make-up and hairstyle simple, unless the designer’s collection demands bold a look.

and the final product is very dramatic. Many of my path-breaking looks have come while working with designers such as Ashish Soni, Suneet Varma and Rohit Bal. I love to work with this talented group of designers again and again.
