- Mumbai (Reuters)
India's biggest fashion extravaganza, showcasing
44 designers in the fashion capital Mumbai, has forecast a "cutting
edge" look for the coming winter season."The look is all about cutting edge, a little like Charlie's Angels and a slice of Cyber Cafe," Rajiv Goyal, creative director of Trend Forum, a participant at the second India Fashion Week, said on Thursday. "From here, buyers get an idea about what they can expect from the designers," said Goyal showing a range of swatches, accessories and designer clothes. Designers said "reality clothes" or everyday wear would no longer be plain or simple in the winter season between November and March. "They will be very contemporary with a little of traditional styles mixed. The idea is to look good and feel young," said Goyal pointing to short tunics and slightly flared trousers. The accent will be on giving more shape to the body with smart necklines and stylised arms. "The look is not about an age group, but more a certain mind set," said designer Anshu Sen whose vibrant-coloured clothes, are largely casual and easy to wear. Denim is expected to reinvent in a big way but it would be more decorative with sequins, beadwork and embroidery. Graphic designs and razor sharp images will rule the season as black and white become predominant colours besides dark tones of orange, brown and blue. |
