Nagaland based designs set the ramp on
fire
Mumbai: Generation
Next designers showcased their creations on the fourth day
of the Lakme Fashion Week here last evening. Ten new entrants
called the GenNext displayed their creations. One of the budding
designers, Inchatsung Imchen's collection was inspired by
the contrasting colours and sharp edges, straight out from
the tribal outfit of the remote corners of the northeastern
Nagaland state. "The colours were predominantly black, white
and red. I got all the fabric woven by weavers of Nagaland.
There is so much symmetry and not many details on the textures
of Nagaland fabric. There is some intricacy in the weaving
patterns. I wanted to translate the textile fabric into something
that is contemporary, that is urban and funky," said Imchen.
Wendell Rodrigues, a world-famous fashion designer from Goa,
judged the collections. "Each collection was so diverse that
I can't pick anyone out though there are few clear winners
who would compete even with other designers taking part in
the fashion week. I would like to say that they have put a
lot of effort, I kept telling them to change silhouette to
give you shape and everyone worked on it really hard. There
is something like 10-12 outfits, which I feel fit for the
ramp. I am clearly very happy and wish them all as the future
fashion designer stars of the country," he said. Lakme Fashion
Week involves events like media seminars, business-to-business
meetings and a buyers' forum, apart from the regular shows.
Around 75 designers are showcasing their collections in this
season of the fashion week.
