Summary
First ever fashion week got off to a rollicking start in India's southern city Bangalore. The event, city's first, marks the IT city's advent on the country's fashion map, after Mumbai and New Delhi. Young designers set the mood with their women centric collections on the first day of the event. A collection of feminine dresses that celebrated the essence of a woman formed part of the collection showcased by designer Zubin Vakil. The designer made use of cages and feathers in the ensembles to denote the free spirit of the woman. Everything that denotes happiness and joy, and wearability and celebration of womanhood. A woman is not meant to be suppressed and caged is what I wanted to show here, said Vakil. A collection of modern contemporary dresses by designer duo, Abhi-Rahul, also stood out for its simplicity. Christened 'Definitely Maybe', the collection signified the moods where a person conceals something and reveals a little of the things. Fabrics like silk, organza and nets were used in the collection that was predominantly black and white. The collection is all about presenting contemporary women and how they are. They are better than men, they are smarter, they are moving everywhere, travelling, they are getting bold everyday, said Abhi.
