Many new exceptions witnessed at WIFW grand finale

Many new exceptions witnessed at WIFW grand finaleLetting his clothes take centre stage and not celebrities because he feels real fashion is about beautiful clothes, media shy Rajesh Pratap Singh presented the grand finale of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week on Sunday.

Pratap told reporters after the show, "I wanted my clothes to do all the talking... They were very basic clothes."

The theme of the show was "Bespoke Tales", and the designer had expressed the progression of the fine art of fashion of making clothes as seen by tailors.

"Well frankly speaking, a theme or an inspiration for your collection is a marketing gimmick. At the end of the day I am a tailor and my work is to make clothes," the designer said, talking about his theme.

The line had an interesting mix of black and white combinations, then black and navy blue and in the end black and red.

The designer who first launched his line in 1997, said, "The line is very subtle and very wearable as well. We have used a lot of in-house technologies for the line."

The range had an interesting mix of trench coats, skirts, slim-fit trousers, sequined dresses and tops, a lot of layering and was at par with international standards.

Thanks to the designer - who didn't spend much time talking about the sets and let his clothes do all the talking, the grand finale show wasn't significantly delayed unlike previous editions. (With Inputs from Agencies)
