Flush of colours Manoviraj Khosla’s show
September 4th, 2011 - 10:58 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Sep 4 (IANS) Manoviraj Khosla?s name is synonymous with bright colours, and this time too at the Van Heusen India Mens Week Sunday, the designer didn?t shy away from splashing hues on the runway, although in a subtle manner.
This is the third time the Bangalore-based designer is participating in the mens week. In the past two seasons, he has always been making bold choices — be it bright colours or letting the boys wear hot-pants. His forte lies in being different.
This time too Khosla used colours like pink, yellow, orange and purple for some of the outfits, and balanced his line by using shades like beige, black, white and grey.
?There were colours in my line, but yes, not that much because I didn?t want to be repetitive and predictable. So the idea was to keep the signature there and work more on the wearability factor,? Khosla said.
?The line was about cool guys, nothing over the top. There was an Indian influence in it but with a bit of contemporary twist,? he added.
The designer had used the tie-and-dye technique and kept the length of the jackets shorter than normal. Folded pants, zipper jackets, waist-coats, crushed cotton shirts and linen pants teamed with funky printed shoes and bags are sure to start a new trend for men.
