What are they wearing during India Fashion Week in New Dehli? It looks all different from what we saw in New York, Paris in Milan, but even here people like to dress up. What we liked the most: the young men in skirts and tunics, they don’t look funny at all -actually, it’s very elegant.

Dutch designer Jan Taminiau loves Indian embroidery and traditional Indian unpolished jewelry and he has used the sari’s draping and pleating technique in his dresses. So working together with Suneet Varma on a co-creation collection during Dutch Fashion Here & Now is a treat to him, the duo will show this evening at the opening of India Fashion Week. In the Indian press Taminiau stated he is very excited. “The idea to have two worlds meet in creativity and passion is very exciting and new. I feel my work has a strong connection to the craftsmanship and luxurious femininity that India is famous for.”
