At fashion shows in Mumbai and Delhi recently, more than 1000 designers took part, although only a few could strike harmony with the international fashion standards.
Among the eminent designers the names of Anshu Arora Sen, Manish Arora and Sabyasachi Mukherjee, who got high prominence whereas others fell short of expectations.
They offered blazing Indian colours, cultural embroidery and a dissimilar Indian sensibility, toned down for the Western palette instead of dresses designed by Calvin Klein and Donna Karan.
Celebration of portraying all things Indian, got a standing ovation as the projection was to attract the European clients.
Malini Ramani's mirror work kurtis and sequined pencil pants got her an invitation to participate in at the San Francisco Fashion Week, while other Indian designers have repeately failed to evoke right response while trying to remake a ready-to-wear collection on western lines.
International buyers do not come to India for buying mirrors, imitations, beads, gota or sequined dress materials, although London-based stores like Harrods and Browns have highly acknowledged Indian Fashion Week shows.
Words flew fast and thick for organizations like Fashion Design Council of India and Lakme Fashion Week for improvement in the present standard while presenting shows by incorporating clear strategies among all the designers and sending a message for them to allow their designer clothes to do all the talk.
