This was an evening full of designers and their beautiful creations. Blenders Pride Fashion Tour preview had the most talented designers of India showcase their innovative designs that I had the opportunity to watch, appreciate and devour. Along with the designers, there were two very special guests, actor par excellence, Boman Irani and popular writer Chetan Bhagat as well a very sought-after duo in music The Midival Punditz.

The best part of the evening was the chat with all the designers and guests conducted by GQ India editor Che KurienSpecial Moments…..
And thats me, chatting with Little Shilpa. She mentioned how everybody in Indian fashion was doing a statement necklace or statement earrings, and they did it so much that statement jewelery became boring.
And people started asking for something new and fresh. That is when Indian fashion became open to the idea of trying out hats and headgears. She also explains how she consciously moved from her fantasy
world to the more real world by creating retail friendly designs to reach out to more people.
One of the most renowned Indian designers, Neeta Lulla is doing something that no one in the Indian fashion industry has ever tried. Mentoring young people who would like to learn about fashion
but cant afford to enroll in a fashion school. She takes them through the entire process of designing and advices them on career prospects through emails. Time to give back she says. I say, its the
best gesture, ever! Salute.
Boman Irani. What a handsome and intelligent and a witty man. I’m just so hopelessly smitten 😛
He said something that we all know but cant manage to muster enough courage to say it out loud. He said that fashion is about wearing
the right clothes for the occasion thereby showing respect to your host. For him, its all about the ‘right clothes’ and not about fashion.
