India Fashion Week A/W '15-16

Attending the India Fashion Week has always been a merry experience. Watching perfectly tailored and detailed clothes draped around elongated bodies walking down the ramp, is undoubtedly a treat for the eye.

The 25th edition of Amazon India Fashion Week A/W '15-16, passed as a dreamy experience for me, as I got a chance to watch all (yes, all!) the shows. That really is something, ain't it? But of course, as they say, nothing comes for free. So what did I have to do, you ask? I got a chance to be one of the ushers for this Fashion week! It is fun, but a lot of work at the same time, I won't deny the fact.  It is tiring, working for hours sans food.

There were certain things that really got me hooked (other than the grand finale). To my interest, this fashion week saw a number of young designers taking a lead.

Ruchika Sachdev’s Bodice wooed straight-forwardness; simplicity in in its most chic form, a rare fashion sight.

Paromita Banarjee's ramp saw a rare combination of sneakers with sarees, which unexpectedly made up for an extremely classic look. Her separates made up of organic cotton certainly deserves a glance.

Pia Paro's interesting prints came with momentous feathered head gears.

Péro by Aneeth Arora was quite a bag of surprises with an army band  lending its music for the ramp. The Scottish checks and enamel buttons came together, to create a uniform that everyone wishes for it to be a part of their wardrobe.

Eka by Rina Singh, mixed wool, with silk and linen to create wonders. The chic hats, the formal attires and the simple yet classy bags; perfection in itself.

Malini Ramnani stuck to her constant style through her fashion ride, sensuality with tribal touches.

Hemant and Nandita paid homage to the snow-clad mountains and  the stunning meadows  of Kashmir through carpet embroidery.   mismatched prints and endearing pop elements did justice to the theme. The hats and the printed bags added a modern and quirky edge to it.

To wrap it all up, the 'Creative Cut', the Grand Finale to celebrate the 25th edition of India Fashion Week, managed to find a special mention on this post. With 25 Indian fashion designers, showcasing their interpretation of 'Crafts of India', the grand finale grabbed a position in the pages of history of the Indian Fashion Industry.  The breathtaking beauty still doesn't fade in the view of my mind.

This was one experience I'm going to cherish for a long long time! Check out…I got clicked with a couple of designers too!

Being an usher I was not allowed to click, so borrowed the above photos from various sources!
