Things that didn’t strike a chord at the fashion week

​While we mostly praise all the great work done by our designers and hail them, it is also pertinent to tell the readers what didn’t work during the fashion week. Readers discretion is advised.

Why do all showstoppers have middle-parted wavy locks?​

We don’t blame the designers for this. No matter how edgy a hairstyle they do on their models during their shows, most of the time, their showstoppers will have the middle-parted waves to go with the outfit. Celebrity showstoppers usually go for the hairstyle that flatters their face the most and only a few like to experiment with edgier hairdos.

​Tired of seeing sequins

Sequins have been done to death. But this time around at the fashion week, we again saw a bevy of designers doing sequins. Haven’t we seen a lot of it before already? Thanks to Manish Malhotra and his leading Bollywood beauties parading in sequins in almost every Bollywood red carpet. Even Manish tried to push the fashion boundary this time with his Diffuse collection.

​A walk seen before

Antar Angi by Ujjawal Dubey tried to make an impact with his models ditching the regular ramp walk and taking the intense and fierce route. The designer tried to replicate this walking style seen during Paris and Milan Fashion Week. German Model Leon Dame also has this bizarre walk style where his intense gaze could make your heart skip a beat. We feel that Ujjawal could have tried to find something more innovative instead of getting inspired by this walking style.

​Trying too hard to be Gen Z​

Siddharth Tytler’s collection titled 2085 was somewhere an amalgamation of Dhruv Kapoor’s aesthetic and Kanika Goyal’s designs. The need to have male models strut in underwear felt forced and a tad too unnecessary for the show. Sometimes designers should just stick to what they do best. Tytler is good at edgy couture and streetwear is just not his thing.
