HAPPY CLOTHES: Students sporting the college line.
FASHION IS now making its foray into colleges. While conventional ramps present creativity, more of shock value, and contemporary silhouettes for the haute couture, one often wondered where would the mobile-trotting and Kareena-Hrithik following student community -- a potential and promising fashion market look for their college wear. Potential because pocket money is on the rise and part time jobs after college hours are in.
As a first step in bringing fashion into the campus, a fashion show, showcasing pręt line for students by Kriti
Fashion Designers was held here recently as part of the farewell party organised for the BSc students at Badruka College. The first and second year students took the ramp with flair showcasing the western, Indo-western and Indian lines designed for the occasion. About the ensemble, "the exclusive line for college wear is wearable. We have given a western cut to the silhouettes for a chic look," says Annapurna, Kriti Fashion Designers.
YOUTHFUL COUTURE: A refreshing semi-formal Indo Western.
Thus the opening sequence presented funky wear for boys -- hooded long coats and short shirts featuring the `in vogue' asymmetric hem lines and sequins teamed up with basic jeans. The relaxed wear line for girls saw fit `n flare jute and Bhagalpur cotton tops with pin tucks paired with kalamkari capris. "We wanted to display the wide usage of the Indian handlooms," says Gayatri of Kriti Fashion Designers.
Mangalagiri with anchor threads and stretch tops comprised the fusion line for boys, followed by the suede trousers and dress shirts formal line. The ethnic men's wear presented youthful red Mangalagiri featuring subtle embroidery on the shoulders, replete with stole and jodhpuris. For girls, Indo-westerns semi formals in firoza and sea green featuring geometric sequin motifs were well accepted so were the flounce tops paired with designer jeans featuring subtle sequin work.

The formal ensemble for girls presented the nine yards in two different drapes - a red georgette sari with vibrant embroidery and a pink crepe paired with a rich blouse in double-layered fabric with silver threads intermingling in the warp and weft.
The ensemble was well received by the students who in fact approached the designers post fashion show for orders. Check out the cool college lines, which will be available with Kriti Fashion Designers (Tel: 27604599), Ashoknagar.
