Mysore Fashion Week-2014 to feature 14 of country’s top designers starting with Rocky S. Actors Mugdha Godse, Gauhar Khan, Nidhi Subbaiah, Priyamani and model Muzammil will be the show stoppers.
C. Krishniah Chetty & Sons, the famed Jewelleres along with Mysore’s Sound and Light specialists Rock Salad, will be presenting the first ever edition of Mysore Fashion Week (MFW) from Sept. 5 to 7 at Country Inn & Suites, Mysore.
Directed by Jayanthi Ballal of Needle Works and Snehal Igoor of Creative Studio in Mysore, MFW 2014 moves beyond just Fashion Show and more into design aspect of fashion by featuring for the first time in Mysore 14 of the fashion industry’s biggest designers. The clothes will be modelled by 24 of the top female models in the country along with celebrity show-stoppers from Bollywood and South Indian film industries.
The fashion designers who will be showcasing their collections are:
Rocky S, who has designed for celebrities like Katrina Kaif and Priyanka. Then there is Aslam Khan, the popular Designer from Delhi whose designes represent the fine art of tailoring, fascinating pin tucks, piping, cuts and frills.
The show will also have Ashok Maanay, a designer known for his drawing strengths and inspiration from India’s rich traditions. Ashok Maanay’s designs are a breathtaking amalgamation of intricate hand embroidery and karigari. There is Ramesh Dembla, who is also a celebrity designer for actors such as Sudeep and Raagini.
The Mysore Fashion Week will also feature Reshma Kunhi, a designer who was quoted in Femina magazine as “Generation Next Designer.” Since then she too has become a favourite for celebrities.
The other young design talent is Sagar Tenali, who has been termed as one of the brightest stars in the Southern Fashion Industry.
Also presenting will be Bangalore’s foremost fashion designer Anil Hosmani, who has his own label ‘IHITA.’ Then there is Roohafza, who studied finance, but transformed into a designer by passion. She specialises in ethnic and bridal wear. She has also established her own brands called Mysore Silk Udyog, as she wanted to bring Mysore silk on the Indian map.
While the show may be in Mysore, Roshan, who won the Bangalore’s Young Stylish Designer award, is all set to introduce Mysore to his fashion. He designs for both men and women, everything from bridal wear to casual smart. Finally, there is Sumit Dasgupta — a designer who came into fashion because it was his passion. He studied fashion designing at National Institute Kolkata and has Master’s in Fine Arts from Chandigarh. He launched his first collection at the Kolkata Fashion Week in 2008.
It may be a Fashion Week but it’s incomplete without the glorious sprinkle of make-up and to do that Robert, one of the most sought after make-up artist and stylist across the country, will be part of the event. Robert has been the official styling director of Bangalore Fashion Week and has worked with many renowned choreographers.
Of course, no Fashion Week is complete without a show-stopper and Mysore Fashion Week will have a few — some of them being Gauhar Khan, Nidhi Subbaiah, Bhavana Rao, Mugdha Godse, Muzammil, Priyamani and Raagini Dwivedi.
