For Narendra Kumar, a designer is like an architect of clothes which offer shape, colour and style. Therefore little wonder that his men's wear line for Autumn/Winter 2007-08 was inspired by the work of avant garde architect from Iraq, Zaha Hadid whose work he has been following and admiring for years.
Presenting a line up of 20 jackets, 8 shirts, 20 pants, 3 jeans, 7 sweaters and 8 sports jackets in a crisply designed collection, Narendra started with a one button high neck long jacket in Dutchess satin, then brought in a 2 button notched collar linen version and moved to a mandarin collar jacket with asymmetric placket in linen and ending with a Dutchess satin two button jacket with blue satin lining.
Detailing was visible in every garment from faux lapels to elongated button holes with grey silk piping, to 3 button jackets with shimmer on the side, velvet shawl collars, quilting for long jackets, silk pullover sports jackets, and trimming with leather and rivets.
Jackets ranged from one to three buttons, in shades of brown, blue, grey, black, olive, and even green for linen, poplin, Dutchess satin, and silk.
Making a surprise appearance on the ramp with his models, Narendra Kumar proved that his clothes are for men and not only the models as he ended his showing with a statement - The clothes are the Stars.
Undoubtedly, in a Narendra Kumar suit every man will be a star on or off the screen!
