Two much

The WIFW is being held in Hall No. 7 of Pragati Maidan. The venue of the Week has been done up with installations by Alex Davies, Gautam Seth and Prateek Jain of Klove Studio and designer Manish Arora. The number of stalls at one end of the hall might have dwindled but everything seems more organised, at least on the opening day. 8220;There isn8217;t going to be a dull moment. There are great shows, lots of buyers and enough buzz. Just wait and watch,8221; Sunil Sethi from the Fashion Design Council of India FDCI attempts at optimism in the face of strife.

Meanwhile, the second day at the Delhi Fashion Week began with designer Sonam Dubal8217;s flowing kaftans, bakhu skirts, silk wrap blouses, tunics and dainty kimonos. Dubal8217;s 8216;My Memory Garden8217; meandered between Victorian style silk hand-printed capes and old fashioned Indian sensibilities. Model Millen sauntered down the runway in a cream cutwork embroidered dress to the melodic chirping of the birds followed by a jade green dress paired with balloon sleeves. 8220;The collection is an ode to nature. It harks back to another era when people had time to enjoy their surroundings,8221; shared the Delhi-designer.
