Goodbye, gray: Color's back for spring
After a season of gray, expect spring fashions to pop in technicolor. The runways at New York Fashion Week were awash with color Thursday, from candy-hued magentas and yellows to muted shades of blush pink, light tan and dusty blue. It's a far cry from the gray that dominated the fall lines. Sunny yellow and candylike pink and blue created the palette for Miss Sixty (where the skinny jean lives on), while standouts at Bill Blass came in blush-colored silk-satin and gunmetal silk organza. At Cynthia Steffe, sherbet colors provided the pop, and at Nicole Miller late Wednesday, stained-glass prints and earthy colors dominated. Michael Fink, fashion director at Saks Fifth Avenue, said it wasn't yet clear what the big color story will be: candy-colored brights, subdued cosmetics colors or black and white.
Kangana Ranaut walks, but silhouettes steal the show
New Delhi, Sep 9 (IANS) Dressed in a rust coloured evening gown, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut walked the ramp at the fashion week Sunday for designer duo Prriya and Chintans - but the silhouettes still stole the show. The audience at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) skipped a beat as the actress appeared on the ramp flashing a million dollar smile and wearing a layered full length dress embellished with pearls and diamonds, complete with an asymmetric hemline and a train. 'Kangana has become a style icon, who appears on various occasions decked beautifully, hence we decided to bring her on the ramp,' Prriya told IANS. 'But she didn't steal the show. Instead, the clothes stood out as she is a budding actress not an established one like Rani Mukherji or Kajol,' the designer added.
