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.

I love these so much ! they look so chic and comfy... just perfect for slouching around at work in...
ReplyDeleteseems like someone is actually giving thought to clothes. brilliant concepts.
ReplyDeleteBoth 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!
ReplyDeleteOne 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 :)
Stroke of G_E_N_I_U_S, Anuj!
ReplyDeleteOne would never know till a model actually got into these, though.
Appearances are deceptive.
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.
ReplyDeletehe sure can drape....boy he must have spent hours pining at the dress form....love his collections!!!
ReplyDeletethanks but the truth is that any of my drape takes no more that 2 min in total. and the total time taken is almost 1\10th of the normal production time.anuj
ReplyDeleteI just love these Anuj, where do you retail?
ReplyDeletethanks priya. just got them in the market..u can find them in aza in kemps corner and ensemble in bandra.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an interesting idea--no darts?! And they're so wonderful and shapely without them.
ReplyDeleteI have recently got interested in fashion. Being a graphic designer i always felt that fashion is ver close to graphic design. This work to me is just like graphic poetry created using basic clothing details. fantastic work anuj
