Presented at Wills India Fashion Week earlier this year, Namrata Joshipura continues her exploration with textures which to us is the winning factor of her collections. Statement making with lots of shine and glamour, with this line  it’s not about blending in, au contraire. A closer look on the next page vis Fashioninquisitive.

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.
