Stoffa by Prianka, Malini & Hersh
Stoffa brought India a spectacular accessories collection including unique shoes and colorful bags. Four different sections of the show with names as cute as the accessories composed the show on Wednesday in Mumbai. Each section varied themes and colors, but each brought something different to the show. From shoes and bags with the same bright prints to funky metalics, Stoffa brought a wide range of influences and elements to the runway.

Dev R Nil / Zubair Kirmani
These two designers brought two different menswear collections to Lakme Fashion Week. Dev R Nil tried to appeal to the contemporary male with a collection entitled “The Jigsaw.” The collection was comprised of some unusual fabric pairings and a jigsaw motif. Zubair Kirmani wanted to create a collection for the “Glocal Male.” In effect his collection created several looks for the man who wants an outfit he can wear in any part of the world he travels to in the length of a day.

Narendra Kumar
Narendra Kumar proved that politically charged minds are all over the world today. The collection was titled “The Rise of Fascism” to bring attention to the violence occurring around the world. Narendra Kumar created some very interesting and diverse pieces that you would likely see people sporting in the city of Chicago. While most of the palette consisted of deep colors like black, grey and crimson, bright colors reminded us that the collection was in fact very high fashion. With a standing ovation, “The Rise of Fascism” brought attention not only violence around the world, but to alternative high fashion.
