The other over-abused phrase ‘an eastern cut with western
sensibilities’ is used to describe almost all fashion collections.
1. The obsession with the front row. Every corporate
honcho, designer, critic, and socialite wants to be seated in the front
row. They’ll fight with PR reps, unseat friends and rip off name tags in
their quest.
2. Getting dressed for a fashion show is a production in itself.
Style hawks look at you from every angle regardless of whether you’re
dressed in designer gear from head-to-toe or jeans and a t-shirt. It
really is the equivalent of the rishta aunty brigade.
3. The music. I’ve heard everything being played on the runway,
from item song numbers to the latest Bollywood film soundtrack, trance
numbers that were popular five years ago and ballads. Can someone
just produce the definitive runway soundtrack already so one never has
to listen to “Fashion ka hai yeh jalwa” ever again?
