Indian designs popular at Lakme Fashion Week Mumbai:
Fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee showcased his Fall/Winter 09 collection
at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week here last evening. Sabyasachi's collection was
like a storm of Indian traditional designs. His collection included the Khadi
saris and salwar kameez with a tribal touch. The show comprised beauty of India
and its textiles. Sabyasachi's silhouettes were a mixture of contemporary with
the rustic textiles. "I am concentrating more on textiles of India because there
is so much that you can do here. My dream is to set up a cooperative of textiles
especially with weavers. I travelled through all the tribal regions of India like
Kotpat in Orissa, Kastakad in Andhra Pradesh and Bagru in Rajasthan. I just brought
together collections and wanted to do a collection in Khadi, which was ageing,
which are contemporary young Indian women's wear," said Sabhyasachi. Bollywood
Actress Vidya Balan also came to watch the show and found the collections perfect
for Indian women. "The way Sabyasachi dresses up an Indian woman with his clothes,
I think very few are able to do it. There is no element, which is really screaming
out," said Vidya Balan. Lakme Fashion Week will be held till March 31. Lakme Fashion
Week has received in all 189 applications - 88 for gen next and 44 for emerging
fashion designers from 20 cities across the country. -Mar
