Part Two of Lakme Fashion Week

*some of the dresses from Archana Kocchar were really pretty, like the one with Mandira Bedi in it, but the pictures were too small too make a collage out of them(on PAINT, yes this is what people without Photoshop have to resort to), so check them out for yourself*

So, what do you think? The only reason I went through all that effort making these collages for Lakme Fashion Week is because everyone is so focused on the European Fashion Weeks, that nobody pays attention to the other countries. I have always loved India's Fashion Weeks and their fabulous designers because they offer a wide variety. There are the traditional clothing, the contemporary, and a fusion of the both. Plus, the intricacy is amazing, and absolutely stunning. I can never get enough of the collections at Lakme Fashion Week. Actually, almost all of the collections are really wearable, and offer different cuts and silhouttes that can suit any body type.
I think this season, my favorite are, Little Shilpa and Nikasha. Little Shilpa was just a huge art collection, enough said, and Nikasha reminded me of cupcakes and frosting. Mmmm...yum.
Falguni & Shane Peacock slightly disappointed me this time, as they are my favorite label, and I expected more from them. Nonetheless, they did a good job, if you look at it with an open mind.
Vikram Phadnis--wow--wearable, beautiful, and Bollywood much? It is usually really hard to make Bollywood style wearable, because they are usually gaudy and too heavily decorated. But Vikram did an amazing job accomplishing the task.
Sabyasachi blew me away, as it always does. WOW.
From the previous post, I think Anuj Sharma and Gaba were my favorite. They were just so different. The others were good too, but they seemed like some stuff I saw before. I don't know about you, but I bet that a lot of people would try to make Anuj Sharma's zipper dresses, great DIY dresses...I know I would try.

This is really cool. Some of it is a little too bright or "ethnic" for me, but I love the Archana Kocchar looks and the Ruchi Mehta looks. Thanks for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteIndia is one of my great loves and their traditional fashion is so beautiful. This is also very neat!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you end up being for Halloween?
I think all these pieces are absolutely gorgeous! I must admit I have no knowledge of Indian fashion or designers so it was great to see these pieces reflect a certain unique Indian style while at the same time look just as amazing as their European counterparts. Thanks for sharng!!
ReplyDeletebeautiful fashion... thanks for putting a spotlight to the region's talents! luv it!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about sabyasachi. The pieces are beautiful and I see the many Indian influences. little shilpa was interesting but I loved the hairpiece in the 5th picture. Visorific!
ReplyDeleteIndian fashion is getting a bit modern, isn't it?
Where did the fashion week take place?

ReplyDeletewow, lots of great, inspirational stuff!
ReplyDeleteA little of it was tacky, I'll be honest, but I liked a lot of it!
Ooo, I just happened to post a Mumbai Fashion Week post today as well, and I agree with you, I like seeing fashion from more than just the four capitals. :-)
