[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.\'
