WIFW kickstarts smoothly by nomads and green houses
After an opening hitch on the first day of the 15th Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week, the event started smoothly on Thursday with three designers displaying their collections at the first show.
The extravagant event was believed to start on March 24 but ran into trouble with the police officials who stopped the event claiming that the organizers did not have essential permits from fire department.
But the organizers Fashion Design Council of India have certain that there will be no more problems as they have acquired the necessary permits.
Today’s event will go on as per schedule, we have all the approvals in place and the other requirements have been met. The show will go on and it is business as common at WIFW, said Sunil Sethi, President, FDCI.
Designer duo Gaurav and Ritika’s collection displayed at the first show was enthused by the eco-friendly concept of the green house, with colors like orange and yellow ruling the palette.
The collection is concerning the structures and the philosophy of shapes. We have used dissimilar objects to show luxurious garments. Also we tried to show that winters is not all about greay and black by using different colours, said the duo.
Designer Astha Behl’s Autumn/Winter collection showcased here was enthused by nomadic tribes and journalist Malvika Nanda was her showstopper. The clothes occupied patchwork and presented a bevy of colours.
The theme of my show was the records of nomads; they have so much color in their life! My muse Malvika Nanda’s contemporary outfit had a group of patchwork and colors, said Behl.
The first show saw a poor turnout of audience with many seats residual empty.
