Lakme Fashion Week – What makes Mens fashion so appealing now?
Lakme Fashion Week
What’s fashion without its trends being showcased months before they actually hit the consumer markets? At the close of this year’s fashion fest in New Delhi and Mumbai, the organisers received an overwhelming response from aspiring designers from all over the country. The fact that the decade old organisation is now dedicating a section to Mens’ wear shows how the metrosexual male has changed the fashion equations for his counterparts. Ethnic wear and causal wear having made their debut; men will now have a lot to choose from. Designers are now focusing on dressing the men.
What makes Mens fashion so appealing now?
Men always had the money but never knew where to spend it apart from stocks, dating women, drinking and sports. Now they can spend more on clothes and not get bored wearing the same trousers and shirts. The weekend collections have met with a huge response from men who are no longer shy to show off their fashionable side. The trend of pushing forward the Mens wear in Lakme Fashion Week 2009 reveals more men are now willing to buy designer stuff. Van Heusen made this attempt and now the Independent show at the fashion week is listed as the world’s fourth most popular catwalks. Three days of mens clothing and accessories were featured by designers.
How have men made fashion weeks popular?
They are buying branded wear regularly and find them affordable. Hence professional designers feel they can cater to Indian men and their fashionable tastes.
