Dubai Fashion Week comes to a close

By Manjusha Radhakrishnan

Dubai Fashion Week comes to a close with stunning show by Calcutta-based designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee.

The curtains to the Dubai Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2010 drew to a close with India's grand couturier Sabyasachi Mukherjee's bohemian collection.

 


The Calcutta-based designer steered clear from his sartorial staple of rich ethnic saris and rolled out skirts, jackets and cotton tops on the runway. Models sporting bandana, red-coloured glasses and hippie clothes made primarily from Khaadi dominated the runway.

"I am not great with bling. But when I make clothes, I make them for women with a strong individuality. My collection is for all those thinking women who are not afraid to experiment and has a personality.

She thinks for herself and does not put together looks straight from a fashion magazine," said Mukherjee.

Meanwhile, the pen-ultimate show saw Filipino designer Furne One unleash a fantasy-filled collection of structured gowns with cage-inspired shoulders and exaggerated hips. Drawing heavily from the fantasy adventure series Merlin, models were seen wearing antlers and blonde wigs.

"When I saw Merlin six months ago, I was deeply inspired by the Lady Of The Lake and the Knights of Camelot. That was when I decided I wanted a collection that reflected that mythical era," said One.

A sliver of Bollywood glamour was seen with the arrival of Bollywood's rising star Mughda Godse.

"It's lovely to be back in Dubai and I thank Zaeem for choosing me as the showstopper. I love this outfit, maybe I will wear this for my friend's wedding," said Godse.

This season also marked the first time in which designers and models were presented with Dubai Fashion Awards. The awards presented by Studio 8 were given to designers including Furne One (Best Catwalk presentation); Khalid (Best Emerging Talent) and Hassan Sheheryar Yasin (Best Haute Couture).
