Earlier
this year in February in India, Vibrant Fashion Week 2010
showcased the work of some wonderful Indian designers. The fashion pieces shown over 3 days
showed not only
exotic and colourful rich Indian traditional styles, but also
modern fashion designs from minis to hot pants. Stunning colours,
rich brocades and lustrous silks made the best of traditional
and new designs. India is a rising star in the fashion world.
Some of the Indian fashion designs shown in this section are
designed to make a woman feel she is a MAHARANI of
today. Equally others will make her feel like a hot chick fully
up to date with trends in the western world. If you are a buyer
do consider using the innovative talent India is encouraging.
I'd certainly imagine this brocade coat shown right would wow
many westerners.
I was sent these stunning PR photographs by Raahul Dhyani of
Akshar Events & Entertainments in India and although I have no
information on the designers I hope you will enjoy viewing them
as much as I have.
Just enjoy looking at the mixture of regional variations and
modern interpretations that creates clothes than many westerners
with their love of leggings, bare midriffs, border prints, bold
brights and embellishment might adapt to their style with ease.
With the global melting pot love of all things ethnic,
folkloric and tribal expect to see more of this influence as
Indian fashion inspiration gains new followers. These are
alternative trend inspirations to
Mad Men,
Vintage,
Corsetry as
Outerwear, Draping or
Utility Chic. Many of these Indian
garments are hot on trend with their authentic maxi style or
narrow leggings. Mixing old and new and creating designs for
women of today twenty Indian designers produced a fashion season
that achieved a look that embraces the many styles and facets of
the Indian culture.
