Instant Classic - Palazzo Pants

Floor-grazing palazzos of the 1970s are back .

Deriving their name from ‘palace’ in Italian ,palazzo pants stand true to their luxurious roots;layers of lavish fabric sway delicately.These trousers first appeared in late 1920’s when they were popularised  by Hollywood glamour dolls .With Wartime rationing around  the 1940s,this wide-legged silhouette made way for narrow drainpipes.But it was era of the flower power loving hippies when they truly came to the fore. Everything flared and relaxed was truly loved in this period.This season , with designers from stefano pilati , Sanchita Ajjampur and Anna Sui embracing the 1970s, palazzo pants have once again found their way into wardrobes if the bourgeois bohemians.

Anand Kabra

 

Anand Kabra was born in a Marwari family. His father was a doctor. He enrolled for medicine but opted out after his first year. He then went to London School of Fashion to pursue fashion designing. His designs are born from a deeply personal space. His collections, always reflections of his own inner being. Anand says darkness is a perception. Often it takes a trip into the shadows to actually see the light..seeing beauty even in the dreary -  perhaps its something to do with dying a runaway medical student.

He was sitting in the cafeteria at the London college of fashion,where  he learned about form and design when he discovered that there is no fixed form ,no definite design. splotches of tomato sauce and coffee stains in a checkered tablecloth and a waif-like policewomen effectively wielding her baton….proveded the ultimate inspiration for him.

unpredictable.the word is definitive.it resonates.It reflects him, his  work ,his style. Art is fluid. Picture were never meant to be painted in boxes. Colour is emotive for him.colour is eloquent , dramatic or diffident. the human form lends depth and substance to colour. The light and the darkness the emotions and feelings ,the dimensions and possibilities of colour are in  endless. He exist as much in colour as colour does in him.

His philosophy

it’s the single thought you unearth after delving into a sea ideas, it’s the thread I choose to weave into each creation.

The merging of previously distinct fashion borders is really a mirror of the new undivided mind.The western silhouette is as much part of our indian-ness ,as is the indian ethos in international style.

His collection is placed in different stores like Aza fashions , Ensembles , Ogaan , Also aat no.8 , Elahe , Maiah , Collage , Evoluzione . His main office is at Punjagutta , Hyderabad.

OGAAN By Kavitha Bharatia

OGAAN brings together the biggest names in Indian fashion, with new, emerging talent. Ogaan means “wave” in Sanskrit and the boutiques are pared down architectural experiences, with a carefully chosen mix of Indian and fusion clothing, accessories and jewelry. Displays and styling are reminiscent of galleries or installations, making Ogaan a design experience, a canvas for Indian fashion, as much as a store.

Ogaan first opened in Hauz Khas Village in New Delhi in 1989, with the vision of giving a platform to Indian design, textiles, and craft skills.

Kavita Bhartia started Ogaan in 1989. Much before Indian fashion found its place on a global stage, she saw the potential for Indian design. She put together Ogaan as an exhibition space, a design showcase, as well as a unique retail experience. Her forte lies in visual display, and in the duration and interpretation of new trends. It was the first store of its kind in the city. The biggest names in Indian fashion have shown their first collections here. The store continues to showcase the best new talent and explore new aesthetics, mixing the traditional and the contemporary with its signature style and elegance.

Ogaan has six boutiques in Delhi and Mumbai. The flagship is at Hauz Khas Village, spread over 6,000 Sq. Ft. In New Delhi, other boutiques are in Santushti, Khan Market and Emporio Mall. In Mumbai, Ogaan is in Colaba and Khar.

Through her, Ogaan is as much a gallery for Indian clothing trends as it is a store – a space where disparate threads in Indian fashion (handwork, drapes, textile, and stripped down modernism) combine effortlessly.
Kavita Bhartia started her own line of clothing in 2000. The Kavita Bhartia line retails at all Ogaan stores.
