When the hell did they start making them like this ????
NEW DELHI (AFP) - Indian designers kicked off ready-to-wear week by unveiling their collections for autumn-winter 2005 with trademark exuberance and a stunning riot of colour.
The high priestess of Indian fashion, 56-year-old Ritu Kumar sent out an autumn-winter 2005 ready-to-wear collection fit for Kashmiri village belles and Rajasthani gypsies, but carefully rejigged for the modern city woman.
Kumar indulged her passion for brilliant technicolor with an electric blue and red Kashmiri-style "ambi" (long coat) and short layered chiffon skirts for jet-set parties. For daytime, colorful peasant tops and jacquard ponchos over skinny jeans did the trick.
