GenNext designers to shine at LFW
The fashion fraternity in the capital should make room for young talent as three young designers from Delhi are all set to make an impact with their debut at the Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2012 this year. Prashant Chauhan, Yogesh Chaudhary and designer duo Shikha Grover and Vinita Adhikari, are among the seven GenNext designers from India, who have bagged a good slot for the next edition of LFW.
Each year a bunch of talented designers get a chance to showcase at this national platform, and this is a big break for those who are willing to make it big in the fash fraternity, feels designer Prashant Kumar.
He says, “My collection ‘Daughters of Tibet’ is inspired from Yangzom Brauen’s book Across Many Mountains. The collection is an amalgamation of the Tibetan culture along the lines of modernism. I see this opportunity as being a terrific introduction to my work in the industry. Even though this was supposed to be a prêt collection, but I have put in a lot of effort and each ensemble is now a costly piece of artwork for me.”
Designer Yogesh Chaudhary, a NIFT (Delhi) and NID (Ahmedabad) graduate, is also excited to showcase his “In a box” collection. He is also the first ever Asian, who bagged the Supreme Award at the World of Wearable Art, New Zealand.
Talking about LFW, he says, “My collection is an ode to stripes. I am ecstatic to be a part of this great institution, hoping that I too can join the ranks of the best in future.”
For designer duo Shikha Grover and Vinita Adhikari, who would be presenting their label ILK for the first time at LFW runway, the opportunity is nothing less than a dream come true.
Shikha says, “We are creating a ready-to-wear casual women’s wear inspired by the freedom of style. Taking inspiration from stages of metamorphosis, the design theme of the collection is ‘development and transition’ throughout. Each piece in the collection describes a developmental stage of butterfly.”
