Rohit Bal at India Fashion Week
 

The look is very trendy and fairly international, more for the younger than the older man, promises Rohit. There are trousers - full or quarter length; lots of short and front zip-up jackets. "There is no connection between one garment and another,'' explains the designer. In the tradition of all international designers, Rohit is making just separates for the India Fashion Week, which is aimed fundamentally at the market. "It's then for the retailers to decide what they wish to team up and sell in the market,'' he explains.

Exclusivity is certainly not the name of the game here. There'll be hundreds of garments of the same kind ("Insha Allah,'' Rohit puts in fervently); though the designer promises that quality will not suffer.

Rohit does have great hopes from the India Fashion Week, though maybe not from the first one itself. "I am convinced that this first year is more like an investment that'll pay off later,'' he says. Insha Allah!
