Anuj Sharma


eyelet it be, Lakme AW '08

While I love scouring for potential posts , nothing feels as easy and sweet as finding a gem in my inbox. One such gem would be Fashion designer Anuj Sharma's work. His design philosophy in a single word would be 'simplify'. His clothes are an exploration in simplicity of form, design and fabric. While this may sound a little clinical , the results are a stunning line of clean cut silhouettes . Sharma uses his signature single piece of cloth to fashion quirky and interesting drapes.

In his AW '08 collection titled eyelet it be, the pieces have been hammered together, exploring the concept of the eyelet. The pieces can be worn both backwards and front , for two contrasting looks. To me they're very chic Pocahontas & I love the unconventionality of the design process.


110 by 180 cms , Lakme SS '08

In his SS '08 collection , each garment has been designed using a rectangular fabric of the same size which has contrast piping all around it. The collection is completely made without putting any darts or cut on the fabric. For more , click here & here

  3. Both these collections were brilliant and such a relief to the eye at fashion week with all the over embellished over done collections and ppl as well which turn out to be an eye-sore!
    One finds the "Anuj Sharma" bare stall to be quite a relief.
    Both the concept and the way he's variated on it are brilliant.
    Though he owes his creativity to his laziness, it sure needs some credit :)

  4. Stroke of G_E_N_I_U_S, Anuj!

    One would never know till a model actually got into these, though.
    Appearances are deceptive.

  5. weird in the way fashion evolved from couture to pret and now designers are reverting to non-mass again..the difference being that these aren't custom made but aiming towards one-of-a-kind, with shapes instead of crystals.

  10. This is such an interesting idea--no darts?! And they're so wonderful and shapely without them.
