Lakme Fashion Week Day 3 (March '10) - The Review

Day 3 at LFW Mumbai
The collection had an easy comfortable feel with chanderis, striped cottons and silks which were embellished with appliqués and resham work.

Fine, I copied that from some news article. But I thought the collections were quite good too. So was the accompanying music that played as the models walked the ramp. While I took about a half hour to get inside the hall and find my seat, the show lasted 19m 25s.
The event title said Summer Edition, but I think they were only referring to the time of the year, rather than the clothes the models were wearing.
Notable among the women's wear was a purplish gown-like kimono thing with a big pouch near the sleeve, most likely placed there to hold your mobile or iPod. Men were wearing the same stuff, but with an extra hand bag over their shoulders. Storage space was the theme for this collection, if I were to guess. If you are a gadget geek or you do grocery buying a lot, this collection is a must have. Many models also had paint on their face, but that is probably optional.
Among other work that was presented, themes included free-spirited people. Sure, they all wore uncomfortable looking pants and were clearly instructed to walk in the same jumpy way, but that doesn't imply anything.
The crowd also looked knowledgeable, with a lot of them making intelligent remarks to their companions as models walked by. The more serious ones like me even had lengthy after-show discussions in the lounge.
In all, it was a good outing for me, the first of my hopefully many visits to these shows.
