Designs on men
Unwell and unable to come to the city despite trying till the very last moment, she is known for her exquisite and feminine clothes along with a natty reputation as a stylist for high-profile advertising campaigns. Aparna graduated from the National Institute of Fashion Technology with a diploma in Fashion Design in 1992 and after interning with the late Rohit Khosla, launched her own label under her own name.
Chandigarh, November 21 With their Naughty Harem, they are the harbingers of cheeky cheer for men this season. In fact, the designer-brother duo of Shantanu and Nikhil Mehra startle with their brand of sophistication, coupled with brash sexuality, with a hint of femininity thrown in for good measure, all of this and more in their couture with this impish title for the delicious winter ahead. In town for the Blenders Pride Fashion Tour 2006, they are old hands at this whole fashion fiesta now, but what sets their line apart is that it is an all men’s collection. The brothers, known for their more serious work — crisper and cleaner western lines — have literally pulled a rabbit out of their hats for this one. “Naughty Harem, our collection, is our take on the young Indian prince, the decadent royalty, which epitomises elegance, but is a saucy, irreverent and brassy, yet refined young man”, they explain. Their muse, none other that the debonair Saif Ali Khan, and that helps the imagination run riot just like their collection does, for the dapper Khan is known for his splendid style mantra. So what does that translate into vis-à-vis their collection? A colour palette that runs the gamut from natural beiges and pastels, adding their stately charm to more frivolous hues like pinks, maroons and even a warm chocolate. A collection that has a global appeal for they not only hope to grab the eyeballs in the edgier, growing Indian markets, but also capture the imagination of the West and of course “diversifying more and more, which includes concentrating on a bridge or diffusion line to grab a bigger slice of the fashion pie”, smile the duo. And yes, men’s fashion is all set to fly. “Corporate styling is already crucial to men’s dressing. Similarly couture is growing at a whopping rate and men, very soon, will also want different clothes for different seasons”, they aver. The brothers have come a long way. Shantanu pursued an MBA in finance from Ohio State University while Nikhil (younger by two years) trained as a fashion designer from the FIDM in Los Angeles. While they did work in the USA for a while, they found that they had soon run out of ideas at their places of work. So Shantanu decided to peep into the logistics of a fashion business in India, researched and set up base in six months and called his little brother back to start their own couture line for men in 1999. The brothers have not looked back since and are gearing up to make their debut at the London Fashion Week. They are out to redefine the ‘sherwani’ and ‘salwar’ for men “so no more boxy ‘kurtas’ and big wide ‘salwars’ that the whole family can fit into together”, they smile. |
