Prashant Verma Autumn/Winter 2009

Prashant Verma created a stir at his recent Autum/Winter’09 collection at Wills India Fashion Week . Inspired by courage and vitality  the collection had a tougher edge than most of the collections of the show : Cocktail dressses printed with flexing biceps, boxing championship  belts, gladiator-like shoulder pads and protective helmets, were some of the highlights.

 I really admire the sophistication he was able to bring to boxing gear, his use of graphics seldomly used in women’s apparel like smoke , fire and explosions, and his sleek interpretation of military uniform.
