Earth inspires fashion gurus at WIFW
New Delhi, Sep 7 (IANS) With earthy shades like browns, beiges, greens and olives colouring the ramp, one thing is evident at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW): that the roots of what inspires some of our top notch designers are embedded in Mother Earth herself. Dressed in an olive green bag pants that looked very much like - but only in a more exaggerated form - the Patiala pants Indian women wear with kurtas, Siddartha Tytler said his collection at the fashion week is 'all about our planet'. Tytler's theme was titled 'Fusion Earth 3000 A.D.' 'I am inspired by our planet, the earth, the beauty that she is. Hence you will see a lot of forest, foliage and earth prints in my clothes. This is the message that I would like to send out to the people, to be more aware about your surroundings,' Tytler told IANS.
The Style Winds Shift Toward The Stunning, Understated
They say that the best of fashion is enduring - a timeless thing that lives forever in its perfect, untouched chrysalis. But what truly makes fashion interesting is its impermanence. The evolution of style, in all its fitful spasms of change, is a more fascinating process to observe.
Change certainly marked the Bill Blass collection for spring 2008. The House of Blass has gone through three designers since the fashion legend died in 2002. The most recent head of design, Michael Vollbracht, left several months ago, replaced by Peter Som. But Som's women's wear line won't be shown until next year. So who designed the "bridge" collection shown during Fashion Week? That job went to Prabal Gurung, who turned in a small but stunning collection of evening gowns and dresses that hinted of '50s Hollywood glamour.
