Hyderabad Fashion Week 2009

The city of Nawabs finally gets its very own fashion week next month..

But are we ready for it??

Delhi and Mumbai have them. Kolkata and Bangalore have followed suit and now even Hyderabad is all set to jump onto the bandwagon with a fashion week coming up next week.Twenty designers are expected to be part of the event ,to be held in the city from September 9-11.The finale list of designers is still chalked out.

Archana kochhar is expected to do the grand finale and efforts are on the rope in national designers and models to add glam to the event.City designers ,Ishita Singh,Deepthi Reddy and Sharavan will showcase their collections.

In the typical fashion week ,one sees glitz,glam and starry presence in the front rows.Predictably ,for designers ,this kind of fashion extravaganza means business.This year ,every metro has its own fashion week,which in turn has made designers sceptical.

Organiser of the fashion week Raghav is hopeful of a good response since "the curtain raiser went off well”.Every six months ,Raghav plans to organise Spring-summer and Autumn-Winter collections .This time ,buyers are mainly expected from the city and Mumbai.

while,the city flash frat might have their fingers crossed about fashion week.

• Women opt for a knee length or a long skirt with a classy boat neck top or even a dressy shirt.For an Indian attire,wear smart tunics with leggings or skinny pants.Avoid clingy outfits.

Gypset Style

 

If you have never heard this term before, Here is the definition:
“Gypset  is about an emerging group of artists, musicians, fashion designers, surfers, and bon vivants– who lead semi-nomadic, unconventional lives. They are people I’ve met–or been inspired by– in my travels who have perfected a high-low approach to life that fuses the freelance and nomadic wile of a gypsy with the sophistication and global references of the jet set. It’s an alternative way of traveling and living that’s based more on creativity than money.

As you can imagine, in terms of a fashion aesthetic, Gypset Chic tends toward the ethnic, and artistic. Matthew Williamson embodies the best of gypsy-like glamour with his bright colors, vibrant and intricate print fabrics, and heavy embellishment. I can imagine wearing this catsuit (above)in Ibiza at a disco somewhere on the Mediterranean.

Talitha Getty would have been an icon of the Gypset. She lived in a palace in Morocco and  hung out with all the famous artists and musicians of her time. Angelina Jolie would be a fine modern day spokesmodel for this style, with her frequent trips to Africa, dedication to helping the poor, and her jet set lifestyle as an actress. Kate Moss is another good example with her eccentric style. One of her favorite spots in Goa, India is the Nilaya Hermitage hotel.
