NEWS FLASH: Tarun Tahiliani Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week FW 14

My fashion lovelies, a quick post to get you all geared up and even more excited for the upcoming FW 14 fashion week in Delhi. Tarun Tahiliani is going to kick start the week with a grand opening on the 26th March at Pragrati Maidan.

“It is always wonderful to open a week with all the resultant expectation. Wills India Fashion Week held under the auspices of the FDCI is the premier trade platform for the ready-to-wear in India. It is here we will debut the new Autumn Winter Collection, a celebration of colour, drape, jewels and a true synthesis of modernity overlaying tradition. To reflect what Amrita Sher-Gil said –“I am an individualist, evolving a new technique, which, though not necessarily Indian in the traditional sense of the word, will yet be fundamentally Indian in sprit”, says Tahiliani.

Tarun is one of the most legendary designers of our country and every season he comes up with some fresh and fantastic. In Mumbai, at Lakme Fashion Week, he had Jaqueline Fernandez as the show stopper in a stunning red anarkali with gold zari work at the border and a net dupatta. The collection on the whole was quite lust worthy especially the cape style anarkalis in white and gold. I wonder what will be in store for Delhi. I can't wait to find out!

Sunil Sethi, President, Fashion Design Council of India said, “The Fashion Design Council of India is proud to announce that Tarun Tahiliani will open the upcoming Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Autumn-Winter 2014. We are excited to see the magic he will conjure up with his inventive collection, as he always surprises us with his trail-blazing aesthetics. Our best wishes to Tarun as we embark upon another exciting season.”
