Fashion Sees The Year Of The Man
|
Optimum comfort, cutting edge style and plenty of oomph were on the ramp as sporty met luxury at LFW.
Men's fashion is in flux... the key word this year would be fun, fresh, and mischievous.
This year LFW re-invented fashion for men. Tearing wild colours, audacious styling and fantabulous and sophisticated cuts, fabrics and textures peppered the collection of the distinguished group of designers.
From A to Z men's fashion has really come a long long way baby!
Stalwarts ringing in their inimitable style include the Military Man from Narendra Kumar to the House of Cards by Generation Next Designer Neelanjan Ghosh.
Kumar's collection boasted of futuristic men dressed like fascists. They marched up and down the ramp to the rhythm of military slogans and music.
Neelanjan Ghosh had the crowd grooving to metallica, co-ordinated with his oh-la-la metallic shoes in piquant reds, electrifying greens and deep purple. Worn with colourful jackets they showcased an eclectic range of motifs from pulp fiction cards, to pop and digital art.
International stylist UK based, Kevin Harris was seen wearing a Digvijay Singh waistcoat paired with ultra casual dhoti-salwar and sports shoes. Tres chic n'est pas. Singh's collection boasted of all natural fibres and modernized the white and black dhoti collection.
Stylized jodhpurs were also hot as Ragavendra Rathod, Vineet Bahl displayed different stylized concepts of the ageless jodhpur pants. Slightly more tapered with the distinguishable pleats above the knee. They rocked the ramp in earthy colours - beiges, browns and blacks - and the newest misty amethyst and azure showcased at Vineet Bahl.
Kunal Rawal had Anil Kapoor bring Bollywood magic to his collection. The ageless hero looked sexy, sophisticated, and delicious. Rawal's luxurious collection was tempered with style and pizzazz with cropped pants surging with multi- layered jackets, bandhgalas and jodhpuris. Metallics, slim fitting capris and shirts of varying lengths and textures were highlighted. A must have is Rawal's stylised jodhpur walking short paired with a loose over-sized shirt worn under a soft fleece grey t-shirt embossed in metallic and digital motifs.
Upcoming designer Zubir Kirmani had an awesome shaded tuxedo jacket, which met with mists of gushes in the audience.
Brothers Shantanu and Nikhil saw Black and White... with scalloped brocade placements on lapels and tight fitted pants, as did Agnimitra Paul in her Black Lily collection dedicated to the blind. Mitra had large etched motifs in black on short waist-coat jackets matched with loose pyjama trousers. The feel was easy going and luxurious.
Delhi-based designer Abdul Haider saw turquoise as his signature colour for men this year. French label Lecoanet Hemant fast-forwarded to the future with a minimal and extreme tailored look extending to a formless body complete with metallic and layered pleated cargo shorts.
Designers Troy Costa and Dev n Nil stayed close to desi culture with collections in checkered linen and cotton kurtas to three piece suit ensembles with modern finesse. Form blazers worn over same hued pants in gabardines to silks.
