Narendra Kumar presents blueprint for mens wear at LFW

Mumbai, Mar 29 (UNI) Narendra Kumar, who presented his mens wear line last night at the LFW for Autumn/Winter 2007-08 was inspired by the work of avant garde architect from Iraq, Zaha Hadid whose work he has been following and admiring for years.

For Narendra Kumar, a designer is like an architect of clothes who offers shape, colour and style. So he visualizes the men of modern liberalized India in some of his very interesting and creatively styled clothes.

Presenting a line up of 20 jackets, 8 shirts, 20 pants, 3 jeans, 7 sweaters and 8 sports jackets in a crisply designed collection, Narendra started with a one button high neck long jacket in Dutchess satin, then brought in a two button notched collar linen version and moved to a mandarin collar jacket with asymmetric placket in linen and ending with a Dutchess satin two button jacket with blue satin lining.

Detailing was visible in every garment from faux lapels to elongated button holes with grey silk piping, to 3 button jackets with shimmer on the side, velvet shawl collars, quilting for long jackets, silk pullover sports jackets, and trimming with leather and rivets.

Making a surprise appearance on the ramp with his models, Narendra Kumar proved that his clothes are for men and not only for the models as he ended his showing with a statement - The clothes are the Stars.
