Rohit Bal at India Fashion Week
|

"Your
mind changes with fashion and vice versa,'' says Rohit Bal reflectively,
as he begins to talk about his collection for India Fashion Week.
"There are things you are dead set against at a certain time
in life, but later as you travel and move along, the same things start
seeming acceptable to you.'' And that's exactly what's happened with Rohit this time round. For his IFW show on August 20, he has ended up using fabrics he's `hated' all through life; brought down the price of his clothes drastically and for the first time ever, steered clear of doing womenswear! Colours are another field where Rohit is breaking new ground. Very consciously he has settled for a lot of whites and off-whites - colours that are normally associated with summer rather than the approaching winter, which normally inspires designers to go in for darker colours. To help bring down the price of his collection, Rohit has avoided his usual embroideries and embellishments, settling instead for a variety of interesting techniques on basic fabrics. The designer rose to the occasion and experimented with hand-tucking rather than pin-tucking and a variety of textures. Fabrics that have been brought into use are mostly Indian, but some Japanese and Italian ones too. |
