[Mumbai], [India],[July 09, 2008] A whirlwind of Fashion, style, petty controversies and a whole lot of jostling! But of course it had its share of glamour. Maybe there\'s more hype for this event than the Wills Lifestyle hosted by the FDCI in Delhi but in terms of the designers showcasing, Bombay has many more emerging designers. Which was good considering the extremely talented show put on by some of them and the somewhat dismaying ones by some of the established ones.
Narendra Kumar\'s exciting and very innovative translations of mere fabrics into literally beautiful pieces of art adorning the body was fascinating. The use of show stoppers and celebrities attending the show was rampant and maybe this is a whole new style in itself that the Indian fashion industry is evolving. Towards the end of each show everybody is at the edge of the seat waiting for the drama to unfold. The Grand Finale done for Lakme this year by Wendell Rodricks was no different, with Jesse Randhawa alighting gracefully onto the ramp on a swing brought down right from the ceiling! For Neeta Lulla, Pria Kataria Puri and Sanjay Malhotra, the mainstay of their collection seemed to be embellishments, while Prriya and Chintan displayed a thoughtful use of the same, what with Sri Devi walking the ramp for them, they proved their point of being a label for the truly glamorous. Others hooked onto the trend of making fabric the hero of their collection. Rimzim Dadu created a clean and minimalist collection with exciting fabrics that she had developed herself, Asmita Marwa stunned us with her creative use of Kalamkari, an ancient Indian art form. Chanderi, Maheshwari, Ikat and Warli were some of the unusual fabrics used by Gaba and Deepti Toor. Araiya created a range of lounge dresses, very chic but really faded in comparision to her experimental collection last year. The most ingenious use of fabrics and silhouettes was undoubtedly done by Anuj Sharma who as an extension to his last year\'s line assembled garments of square pieces of cloth, only bound with eyelets. There was no end and no beginning to his creations and it was all one smooth flow, added to this was his beautiful explanation that \"one should treat fabric sensitively, it is the soul of the garment, and not cut it and stitch it any which way.\" He seemed to have caught the fancy of many including Mehr Castelinho, who was very impressed by him. Abhishek Dutta\'s collection claiming to be in favor of Saving the Girl child, had an interesting use of printed fabric but his collection was made sour by the petty controversy of a two year old child, DJ, falling on the ramp. While Raakesh Agarvwal\'s collection bordered on fetishism, Krishna Mehta and Nikasha, went the ethnic way with brilliantly executed garments as did of course Sabyasachi, the master of juxtaposing fabrics, this time adding tiny little stirring details. Nachiket Barve used applique work in a whole new way with rose cut being very prominent. All\'s good that ends well, but did it really? Let\'s not forget the real objective behind the fashion week, how much sale did happen at the end of the day? According to Mehr Castelinho the most disappointing part of the fashion week is that the designers are very unorganized when it comes to business transactions. This was reinforced by one of the buyers from England who was extremely skeptical of placing orders citing the same reasons. On the other hand was an official from Aza who was pretty sure that he was packing up \'the best of the best.\' Contact Information: [Company Name] Geotel Information Technologies (P) Limited [Address] : 503, Mayuresh Chambers, (Opposite Raheja Arcade), Sector 11, CBD Belapur, Maharashtra, India.
