Though, there is much more that needs to be
done, however the recent Lakme Summer Resort 2014 show proves that men’s
fashion is definitely headed a new direction in India. Many designers have
realised the importance of one of the fastest growing segments in India. This year Lakme Fashion Week offered the widest range
of choices for today’s globe-trotting and intelligently
fashion conscious Indian men – a positive step to establish India’s standing on
the global menswear map. Here are some of the designers who plunged into the
vast possibilities of men’s fashion at the Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort
2014.

Hingu : The designer took his inspiration from school uniforms
for Summer Resort 2014 collection. Titled “Back to School”, the collection
featured sharp tailored pieces in a mixed colour palette of blue, white, khaki and
pastel shades. Interesting bus and kiddie prints on jackets and other pieces,
floral prints on collars were reminiscent of our fun filled animated school
days. With surprise pop of colour, piping details, embroidery details
and knit sleeves, the collection wonderfully captures the essence of those carefree
days.

contrasting prints.

Asmita Marwa: Vintage dying
technique, checks and weave were the highlight of this relaxed free spirited
holiday collection. Jersey samurai pants paired with Chanderi dip-dyed check
shirts and voile short sleeved kurtas worn with black denim - the
collection is aesthetically ethnic yet completely modern, apt for a man of
substance who wears his roots with aplomb.

Anil Tanna: The designer’s inspiration for his Summer Resort 2014 collection
was the art of blue pottery from the Pink city of Jaipur. Aptly titled “Indigo
Summer”, the designer offered doubled breasted bundies, woven jackets, printed
pants, waistcoats and shorts in a colour story of primarily blue and white with
a pop of yellow or orange. Colour and ethic digital prints celebrated the
vibrancy of the city called Jaipur.

‘Sylvan
Swain’ by by Lalit Sengar: Titled ‘Sylvan Swain’ the collection was inspired
from the Art Nouveau era. .Mix and match, floral prints, Art Deco motifs and
multiple layering were the key story of this collection. Sengar played with the
unending possibilities of Indian textiles like cotton, linen, Chanderi blended
with hand embroidery, block prints and screen prints. In a colour story of
beige, ecru, grey and white, the collection offered geometric patchwork, wide trousers,
waistcoats with shoulder detailing, jackets with printed lining and much more.
Fluid yet constructed the unconventional collection dives into the blended world
of masculinity and intense emotions. Another high point of the collection was
gold jewelleries as accessories and Bandage and toe rings as footwear -
reminiscent of a today’s experimental man who has no qualms about his
sexuality.

of the Azulejos form of Portuguese art of painted ceramic tiles. And, it is
this inspiration that came alive in the form of prints. Titled the “Secret
Garden” the collection offered pants, shirts, muscle sleeved tunics and shorts
all with a generous amount of print stories in a colour palette of blue and
white defined with a dash of pink, green and lime green.
