We know that colours are vibrant this Spring, echoing everything from the pastels of ice cream flavours to the much preferred jewel and spice tones.
Also flowing this season is the maximum length dress. It’s a little less casual now, and a lot more worldly.

Gucci’s Spring breeze happens to be off the grass huts of Bora Bora or Fiji. The economy won’t allow the airfare, but we can escape via Frida’s imagination.

It is precisely moments like these that make me love fashion as much as I do. In the constant barage of images and the homogeny of one fashion week to the next, it happens. Something new emerges – but not for the mere sake of being new. Sometimes a simultaneous moment from the past and the future is captured to enhance our present.
It happened at the Kiran Uttam Ghosh show, part of Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week AW09.
 
Echoing the legends of the maharajahs, models emerged in jewel-toned jodhpurs. Paired with plaids and prints, the tones spoke eloquently, rather than screamed in-your-face glamour. Embellishment was certainly evident, but subtle, soft. The patterns may have originated in palaces, but they are not pretentious here, yet still somehow grand.
This is modern India, at its finest.
It’s Fashion Week again. This time, in India with Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 09. While you may not think of India as the hub of fashion, it’s a market to watch, with talent galore and 34 shows in total . Here are my faves from Day One on the ramp, as the desis call it.
Bal Chauhan – Life is shades of grey, n’est pas?
Interesting, architectural designs. Good ideas and executed well in some cases. Want to see other pieces evolve. Want the styling to not distract from simple pieces. On my watch list for future seasons.
