Kallol presents very creative collection for Berling Show @ LFW

Short listed by the Lakme Fashion Week Advisory board, Kallol Datta 1955 presented his collections for the Berlin Calling show at Lakmé fashion Week Winter/Festive 2011. 

This initiative supported by IMG Reliance and IMG Fashion teams will see Indian representation at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week – Berlin - Autumn Winter 2012 in January. The platform will not only support the selected designer in presenting the runway show but will also ensure that the opportunity is leveraged effectively in representing India internationally.

Working his characteristic design sensibilities into his garments, Kallol Datta’s Winter/Festive 2011 collection for Lakmé Fashion Week was an extension of his Fall/Winter 2011-12 line done earlier. Choosing some unusual fabrics for the season, Kallol opted for wool, wool blends, silk, crepes, satins, nets, voiles, kora silks, gauze and calico in a dual colour palette of black and white with hints of blue and pink. 

Known for his quirky but very striking totally identifiable prints, Kallol introduced the “Namesake” series of motifs to add that distinct look to his collection. 

The designer’s choice of embellishments has always been eye-catching; so this season Kallol used braids and tassels in natural and artificial fibres for impressive 3D construction and added on foil printing and gypsum coating.

Presenting a crisp tightly edited show of 16 garments, Kallol displayed three series namely - Conception, Namesake and Paper Plane with the very creative construction that he is known for.

Sanpellegrino - the haute-couture of mineral water

Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival – Brisbane, hosted by South Bank, is back for 2011 and promises a stellar lineup of fashion designers and a range of fashionable events to satisfy even the most sartorially starved crowds. It will run from August 20-26.

From the Renaissance frescos adorning the ceilings of historic chapels and the sculptures of the Galleria dell'Accademia, to the leather smiths of Florence and the haute-couture gowns that render our knees incapable of holding us upright, Italy is renowned for its rich culture, unparalleled sense of style and impeccable craftsmanship. When it comes to things of beauty, Italy’s got it nailed.

This year, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival - Brisbane is proud to announce their affiliation with another Italian icon – S.Pellegrino mineral water.

The quality of S.Pellegrino is legendary. The “Godfather” of design himself, Leonardo da Vinci even visited the town in 1509 to personally sample the “miraculous” water that flows from a thermal spring at the foot of a mountain wall in the Italian Alps. S.Pellegrino is a refreshing, naturally carbonated water with a light, crisp finish, captured perfectly in the brand’s iconic, green glass bottle – a modern symbol of style, sophistication and the conviviality of the Italian lifestyle.
