NY Fashion Week: Sabyasachi

So you all know that while Fashion Week is on in India, there's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week happening in New York, right at the same time! And today Sabyasachi was showing! Oh, I was so excited, thats one designer I was absolutely looking forward to seeing, so imagine my surprise when I acually saw the collection!

I am devastated. It was just so lacking in its appeal, that barring a few pieces, I pretty much wrote off the entire show!

All trademark Sabyasachi traits were missing and that might have been a good thing if he was trying to move away from the 'cliché' and 'stereotype' but instead, he failed to deliver and so was left floundering neither here nor there! I know am being harsh, but from a designer with his calibre, expectations always ride high and to be left so low and dry is just plain disappointing!

Not all was bad. Some pieces were good, like the long printed coat in vibrant red with wide collar or the olive a-line coat! Some of those flowy long printed skirts worked too!

But all in all, I kept waiting for the collection to get better. And was left wondering, is this it? This can't be it! Is it?

NY Fashion Week: Ashish Soni

While the Wills India Fashion Week is going on in India, the NY Fashion week is also happening and there are a couple of Indian designers that are showcasing their work. One of them is Ashish Soni, who is making his third appearance this year.

Called the "Sporty" collection, it had a lot of soft colors. Soni stuck mostly to grey and white, with a few outfits in yellow and pink. There was a definite bit of Indian influences. He had outfits that were accompanied by Nehru "style" jackets. Some of the pants had very churidar style look and a lot of the dresses and tops have that Rajasthani flairy kurta note to them. Overall, a great collection with some pieces that can be worn every day..

Here is a look at the collection.






























Also to be noted is the silver jewellery designed by Arvind Agarwal of Arvino.
