There is also Smita Singh Rathore, owner of Celldsgn store at Hauz Khas, who will be launching her label 11.11. The alumna of the prestigious Domus Academy in Milan promises “a real masculine look to womenswear with cheery voluminous skirts and drape jackets”.
Greco-Lebanese Alecca Carrano, who has been working out of Delhi for the past two years, too has finally managed to put herself on the Indian fashion map. “I was trying to participate for the last couple of years but couldn’t because FDCI only allows designers of Indian nationality. I have a stall this time and will showcase a very feminine collection for mature women,” smiles Carrano, who is heading for the Dubai fashion week next. Besides the punk vibes, Vineet Bahl, showcasing for the first time in Delhi, will crank out a cocktail collection aptly called Mojito. Watch out for a heady cocktail.
