Moving on with the my final blog for January I would like to profile the "bad boy" of Indian fashion, Rohit Bal. Rohit Bal is one of India's most celebrated fashion designers. His collections have been shown in key cities around the world such as New York, Paris, London, Singapore and trend capitals of India. Known for bending the rules of style and creating clothes that incorporate Indian folklore and costumes into twenty-first century wearables he was able to get the approval of local celebrities and the international jetset.
He uses locally made materials and employs the best craftsmen of India to execute some of the intricate details of his designs and he always makes it a point that his clothing line will be wearable for the Indian market, although some of his creations can command an upscale price. His men's wear consists of jackets, shirts, skirt pants, simple trousers along with dhotis and women's wear consists of cholis, full length skirts, Nehru collared jackets, long tops with empire line and capes. He is one designer that can re-invent style and still everybody loves it.
The Special Report on India by Time Magazine dubbed Rohit Bal as "Master of Fabric and Fantasy." I agree indeed, looking at his designs I see the Indian influence which I really admire. As reported by an Indian fashion columnist about Rohit Bal's collection during India's Fashion Week - Rohit quotes that his shows "kill the fashion week," meaning no one wants to see anything else after his collection. I may agree with that as well!!!
