Rabani and Rakha: Wills India Fashion Week 2007

P.S. I am not sure if this is Rabn & Rekha’s collection or Vikram Phandia’s. Will correct it if it is wrong.

Update: see comment from Gautum Rakha confirming that this saree is from his label.

Comment:

I love this one (ok, loose the shadowy makeup) but I have always enjoyed saree with form fitting outer forms.

The model looks like she is walking at the fast pace of the show and looks very comfortable. And that’s point of the collection I guess.

A little blurb about Rohit Bal while we wait for his collection

Rohit Bal is intensely concerned with design as an art form. Rohit draws from influences, wide and varied. From the village crafts and traditional methods of design, to the transient phenomenon of the sub continent’s urban landscape, the designer brings them all to life in his spectacular yet original language.

Rohit has a deep understanding of the psyche of the fashion space and it reflects in his collections that are intelligent, studied, imaginative and completely innovative yet always relevant and awe-inspiring.

Observation of the Party at on Friday from Archana Jahagirdar

Maybe it’s the Pragati Maidan effect but the entire event has been subdued, with superfluous airheads not inflicting themselves on unsuspecting ordinary people. This has given WLIFW a more sombre and professional veneer and as we all know, appearances matter. Speaking of which, a significant number of people connected with the industry are guzzlers and smokers. Aren’t both supposed to be bad for you? And yet some of the most trendy and glamorous people floating at the venue seem to escape the torment of their excesses. Maybe, one needs to investigate this more closely. Who knows there could be a secret formula for eternal youth and good looks that these people know?

Here is another Saree from Anjana Bhargav

From the Revival Collection!

For this year, the Gold is the new black!

Anjana Bhargav : revival collection Saree

I love this particular ensemble from Anjana Bhargav! It is from her Revival collection; simple, elegant and pure. It has such an interesting look to it.

Models walk the ramp for Anjana Bhargav at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Spring Summer 2008. Her collection which is called ‘Revival’ focuses on intricately embellished light weight cottons and hand woven fabrics. Colors were white to antique golden hues, which was teamed with warm earthy shades of sandy beiges, muddy greens and coppery brown.
