Indo-Turkish culture an inspiration at
Wills Fashion Week
New Delhi:
Models displayed fabrics inspired by Indo-Turkish culture
on the fifth and final day of the Wills India Fashion Week
(WIFW) on Sunday. The sizzling Autumn Winter 2008 collection
of Puja Arya portrayed a harmonious merge between the textiles
traditions of India and Turkey. "The collection is inspired
by the Turkish embroidery which is very rich. It is done on
wall hanging kind of floor covering. The block printing is
taken from there," said Arya. Motivated by spectacular embroidered
wall hangings, the rich patterns on skirt hems and yokes of
gowns sported by models on the ramp had abstract motifs set
against contrasting rich tones and hues in a variety of fabrics
reminding the flow of caravan in desert. Earlier, the audience
revisited the Bengal Renaissance of 19th century, a period
in Indian history known for socio-religious and literary awakening,
through creations of Priya Awasthy. "Its been inspired by
the Bengal Renaissance, basically. It's a revival collection.
The era of Bengal in 1875, that's basically, is my inspiration.
I have contemporized it completely," said Awasthy. Her versatile
collection of fabrics covering almost every indigenous variety
was made more eye catching as the colour palette too presented
a wide range. Events like the Wills India Fashion Week provide
a platform for the designers to directly interact with the
buyers and do good business.
