India Runway week 2017 outfit and event

Hey everyone

The weather in Delhi has been miserable, it always is around this time and i wouldn’t really want to be here in the summers but thats life, it is what it is, anyways the  good things about Delhi are the many exhibitions and fairs that take place, showcasing talent  and art from all parts of India. Yesterday i went for the 8th edition of India Runway week 2017, It is the youngest fashion week in Asia and introduces new talent and places young Indian designers firmly on the global fashion stage. 

I wore my go to look for this spring summer, updated jeans and updated white blouse with my crushed velvet mules. You will see all these pieces in full outfit posts soon.

This year the special focus is on the weavers of India. India is a well known authority for the export of hand woven fabrics to the world but the weavers being at the bottom of the hierarchy have faced quite a lot of exploitation. India Runway week has joined hands with four organizations that have been working closely with the weavers, Rangsutra, SoCHE, Banka Silk and Gestures by Kriti, raising the weavers voice and generating livelihood for hundreds of rural artisans. They have also made a significant contribution to the lives of the women artisans helping improve their economic as well as social status. Helping not only the artisans become wage earners, but also spreads awareness about the traditional crafts of the region, thus helping preserve a rich part of India’s national cultural heritage while producing products for global consumption.

For rescuing us bloggers from drained batteries and stuff the IRW partnered with Colorbar cosmetics to set a fashion shuttle. Colorbar also launched its new range of makeup products for spring summer, feel the rain, the packaging of the products is really cool with the effect of water droplets making you feel like its raining to escape the summer heat. I loved the eyeshadows that were powder but looked like cream also the blush duo which has optical illusion properties to give the perfect selfie.

I really loved the use of traditional indian weaves at the Rangsutra  show and was particularly impressed by the styling.

Thank you for stopping by! See you with my next.

Love
