Like many big names in the international fashion world, veteran American designer Diane von Furstenberg too has India firing up her creativity. Diane visited India last March for the first time for the Mint Luxury Conference.
The lady clearly went home inspired. Her spring collection showcased at the ongoing New York Fashion Week spring/summer 2013 had models wearing silver leggings with silver baubles resembling ghungroo attached to the edges, shalwar pants paired with flowy kurtas and footwear attached with silver chains and ghungroos styled like pazeb (anklets) worn by Indian women.
“It’s a very romantic, bohemian mood that Diane has created thorough these Indian elements,” says designer Gaurav Gupta.
“The outfits are inspired by rustic India and Diane has given them her own modern touch. International fashion designers seem to know India better than we do,” says designer Rina Dhaka.
