Edna Woodman Chase—former editor of Vogue organized “Fashion Fete,” in 1914 to benefit the war-relief effort which is often apocryphally called the first fashion show ever. By the 1920s, the fashion show had gone mainstream. Early shows were often more theatrical than those of today.

The most happening fashion and lifestyle week this year has come up with a unique theme and a purpose.  Truly the Kolkata fashion and lifestyle week has been responsible both as a platform for Indian fashion trends to project Kolkata as the next fashion capital of India and as an organization for spreading eco-consciousness amongst people.

Eco fashion theme of Kolkata fashion and lifestyle week

The year 2010 has been recognized as the UN year of biodiversity. The world is facing an urgent urge to save biodiversity and to preserve our ecology from destruction.  Kolkata fashion and lifestyle week thus, has decided to redefine fashion with stylized clothing in natural fibers like jute, cotton, silk and bamboo.

At Falguni and Shane Peacock’s Spring /Summer 2011 I was blown away. I didn’t know what to expect, for my top 6 London Fashion Week shows, this husband and wife team Falguni and Shane Peacock’s collection had it all and showed amazing pieces.  Beautiful crafted graphic print floaty maxis to hard-wear studded body con dresses there was something special for the occasion. Throughout this collection we saw a common armour theme, featuring shoulder pads, Bra cups, belts, metal plates, and even knee pads on trousers.

Graphic prints had a certain original look about them the collection was inspired by animals, ‘under the threat of extinction’ the prints in this collection resembles scales, bees and tiger stripes. They were so many favourites of mine in this collection, I loved the yellow and black graphic print body with oversized studded Perspex shoulder pads.  Amazing collection dresses and bodysuits all teamed up with sheer black tights and black tights socks.

I truly love to own one of this piece in my wardrobe it is futuristically sexy, super hero. I am in love with the two Indian designer, I’m already thinking and looking forward to what I will see from them next season.

I like that, they kept the Hair down and make-up with black eyeliner was kept equally simple.
