Nothing makes a big,
well-publicized event as exciting as a wardrobe malfunction, but I will admit that it is more exciting at a sporting
event than a fashion one. With all the costume changes and models running around backstage, trying to fit into samples
of various clothing, it isn’t surprising that, from time to time, there will be a malfunction. In India, a recent
show seemed plagued
with malfunctions and, given the conservative nature of the media and guests in attendance, it created quite a
stir.
Personally, I was much more interested in the clothes that were being shown than the media uproar that
followed. Indian Fashion Week mega-show featured Indian designers, like Anupama Dayal and Shahzad Kalim and was full of
silken, flowing skirts, vibrant colors, corset tops and lots of accessories, including embroidery and lace on the
clothing. Dayal’s designs in particular were gorgeous and I have heard that some will be exported to parts of Europe
and the US in the coming months. Anyone have any leads on a store, yet?
