Bollywood dominates Fashion Week
The Mumbai Fashion Week, which began on Tuesday, was dominated by Bollywood and men, as male film stars ruled the ramp here.
Narendra Kumar, who presented the men�s collection for fashion conscious metrosexuals roped in Bollywood star John Abraham to do the ramp show wearing a floral motif shirts and trousers in his collection named “The Artist Inside”.
Pooja Bedi, a former Bollywood actor and now a TV presenter was bowled over by the collection and said, �I think it’s wonderful, because it shows that the Indian male is focused on grooming, on presenting himself well and buying wonderful clothes.�
With the fashion week beginning with men�s collection for the first time which is usually dominated by female fashion, Bedi said that the change is attributed to the new image of Indian man who is conscious of what he wears.
�Fashion week has begun with the men’s collection I think that’s a huge statement in itself,” she added.
Though no big names of fashion industry featured on day one, the second day will feature Wendell Rodricks, which is expected to create a flutter.
Designers showcasing their collections on the first day were Vineet
Bahl, Debarghya Bairagi, Navonil Das, Anupam Dayal, Vikram Phadnis and
Priyadarshani Rao.
Surily Goel, known for her proximity with Bollywood had a host of stars attending her show.
But the day second day belonged to Clive Rundle who presented the perfect mix of African style wrapped in Indian colours.
With African music in the background, models sashayed the ramp with African styled skirts in colours as bright as yellow, green, orange and red. The dark African shades of deep brown and burgundy made the base with bright Indian colours contemplating it.
On day one, however, white dominated the ramp.
Designer Vineet Behl claimed white has all the colours and is the best for clothes, despite being colourless!
“Whenever I start with the collection I always think to start with white because white is the best thing to start any collection. White has no colour and yet it has all the colours in it. And from there we go on to other colours. Right now it’s all bright I am thinking, no dull pastures. Just bright, bright… You know I will go just mad with colours,” said Behl.
Priydarshani Rao brought back the traditional salwar-kameez signalling the return of romance with monochromatic greens, browns and pinks.
