Fashion Preview Collection

It's all about going back to constructed compositions. Each garment in this collection has an intrinsic importance of decomposed value, the designer begins to explain. The collection is an assembly of eveningwear and daywear along with some pieces of bikinis which will offer a perfect line for the fresh summer season. It emphasizes more on colours and less of embellishments. With minimum embellishments we have tried to splash a plethora of colours on an array of joyful fabrics like linen, muslin, paper silk, satin georgette, gossamer cotton jersey andviscose jersey. Embellishments take their cue from the luscious classicism of Mackintosh-inspired botanical gardens in a rose-shaped cornice of hand-cut petals that move stealthily onto hems and necklines. The predominant shades include hues abstracted from accents of fennel, mustard, nutmeg, cayenne, sesame, cumin, rhododendron andanise. My latest collection targets the Indian market as well caters to somebody who is nomadic and loves to experiment with their look, she added. Classical styles are revisited with be spoke finishes. Fitted and rounded silhouettes with reduced volumes. More structured styles with lowered hemlines, reinvented with folds, pleats and ornamental details make this collection more elegant. **End Summary** Topics: Fashion Week Lakme Fashion Week]]> Runway Reviews]]> Fashion Sho]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For more information for Fashion Designers and beauty related product, fashion tips for Lakme Fashion Week and fashion deals online you can visit stylekandy.com

HDIL India Couture Week

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 07:59:32 -0400

After a spirit dampening first day cancellation entered its second year with a grand opening yesterday in Mumbai. There were no signs of disappointment as all seemed to have forgotten the last minute Abu-Sandeep back out and looked in high spirits to watch the upcoming shows. Swarovski seemed to have created a luxurious ambiance in the entire arena, drawing inspirations from the 'Lotus'. However, the granddame one would expect at an 'Haute Couture' show was felt wanting! The first show of the week was a Jewellery showcasing by four prominent jewellery designers. Once again, the Main Show Area was nothing out of the box. We did like the crystallised rectangular arch, but the chandeliers with cloth cover and tassels were pretty unimaginative, especially having seen them recently at Tarun Tahiliani's show at LFW. Changing the lights after each of the four showcasing kept giving a new look to the white and lilac set. We were still trying to figure out the point of hanging a fan right at the entry point on the ramp, which was in turn, covered with a layer of velvet cloth that made sashaying quite perilous for the models. **End Summary** Topics: Fashion Week Lakme Fashion Week]]> Runway Reviews]]> Fashion Sho]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For more information for Fashion Designers and beauty related product, fashion tips for Lakme Fashion Week and fashion deals online you can visit stylekandy.com

"This is the first time I am doing something in eye wear because I think people don't have that much of option as far as eye wear's concerned. Eye wear today is being used as a personal style statement. People are looking at frames that are trendy and comfortable, that fit their overall lifestyle", said Kunal. The designer eye wear offers a wide range of stylish frames with the latest international fashion trends. Each stylish frame has single pieces with unfinished looks like for ex vintage, biker, second hand etc. The highpoint of the collection is the mixture of elements accompanied with amazing usage of colours like the rim is in gold and plastic in dull brown or silver. With its hint of colours, unique detailing and comfort quotient, Kunal embodies the spirit of todayâ€™s casual corporate style. Available in 30 styles, Kunal emphasizes on the fact that it's not easy to find the shapes he desired, mostly inspired from the era of 60s, 70s and 80s. "The world of eye wear is all about interesting shapes, unique lines and conversation-piece style frames. Eyeglasses are all about exaggerated rectangles, pointy edges, big frames, aviators, different shades, many moreâ€, he summarized. **End Summary** Topics: Fashion Week]]> Fashion Show]]> Models Photos]]> Runway Reviews]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For more information for Fashion Designers and beauty related product, fashion tips for Celebrity Fashion and fashion deals online you can visit stylekandy.com
