Style from Delhi Fashion Week

 Finally managed to do a little edit of the street style photos I took at Fashion week.
 

Just thought I'd put together these two strangers. The front-row woman had such a calm energy emanating from her, the Japanese buyer so restless.

Day Four at Delhi Fashion Week

It's not exactly my day four, but that's what my entry card said. With the last day coming up tomorrow it was time for the up-and-coming designers to show what they had in store. First I went to a combined show of three young designers.

Kallol Datta 1955 is run by a graduate from CSM and it shows. The strong lines, the quirky print on structured garments all kept in the monotone made me temporarily wish all colours away. However, tonight I decided to colour it in a little anyway. So here are my runway pictures and doodles:

 

Please take an extra moment admiring those shoes before we go on to Anand Bushan and Rimzim Dadu. I have to say straight out that during the shows of those designers I lost track a little. There were too many looks and sub-collections. Also, my camera went a little fussy (nope, I'm not yet the photographer I was hoping to have become after thousands of pics in Jaipur).

Anand Bushan had a lot of mystically sparkling triangle pieces all worked around a fresh blue.

My camera really went crazy during Rimzim Dadu's show. I wish I had captured the final looks of lushy green sequins. I will update this space when find better coverage. Although the collection as a whole had some looks that needed discarding, there was really a lot of good pieces.

Gaurav Gupta SS13 - Delhi Fashion Week Day 3

Monday I managed to catch some catwalk action since apparently a student ID from a renowned fashion college gives you access to the show venues. Somehow my friend knew someone, who knew someone, who had extra passes for Gaurav Gupta.

The show was divided in two parts. The one I didn't like screamed early noughties, and took its inspiration from Christina Aguilera's white baggy pants. The styles above are all from the other half of the show. The shoes are gorgeous, reminding me of an old Miista style that I loved to bits, but in fresh neon colours and an interesting blocky heel. The fabrics looked so soft, the collars so fierce yet elegant and the colour combinations - absolutely incredible. (Just see the yellow shoes with the blue and white dress above).

There is little coverage from Will's Lifestyle India Fashion Week, but I did find Strut120 who create a slideshow of all the best looks.
