Swapnil Shinde
A NIFT graduate with a diploma in fashion styling from Milan, Italy, Swapnil Shinde was one of the final six in the reality TV show Lakme Fashion House. His brand 'Swapnil Shinde' aspires to find a balance between the two extreme terms-sexy, without being cheap or crude, and elegant, without being boring or matronly.
The Swapnil Shinde woman is everyone. It's all about figuring out that hidden quality, the much sort after "X factor", that the brand aspires to provide.
The brand does not scream India, but it gives a hint of the Indian sensibility.
Theme of the Collection: The starting point for the collection was OMKARA, a coming-of-age film directed by Vishal Bharadwaj released in 2006. Focusing mainly on the contrast of innocence and aggressiveness there is a resulting mix between `pretty, girly and more conceptual clothes and between hard and soft , there is less emphasis than usual on the girly prettiness and more focus on sharp, strong outfits with a certain amount of fluidity and bounce.View the Swapnil Shinde Collection in Lakme Fashion Week - Spring Summer 2007 |
