One More Reason We Just Love Fashion Week

Pero at AIFW AW17

And it’s not about the fashion shows. Don’t get me wrong though. Still reeling from what we saw on the runway (from start to finish!), but the fun actually continues off the ramp as well.

How so? People watching of course.

With a venue filled with fashion lovers (much like us), everyone is just so sharply dressed. And usually turn out to have such interesting stories to share. So here are some of the city’s creative minds whom we got to know a little bit better this time at fashion week.

Surabhi Chauhan

Founder of lovestruckcow, her take on fashion is fresh, fun and honest. She notices the details we often miss. Gotta love it.

Also love her for her love for saris.

'GuessWho' is an anonymous graffiti artist active since 2012 in Fort Kochi, Kerala, India. Guesswho said his work was in part a reaction to the #Kochi-Muziris Biennale, which he said restricted which artists were publicly showcased. He made various graffities in Fort Kochi which are a fuision of hollywood iconic entities in Indian attire! photocredit: yooniqimages . . #sarisunday #graffiti #sarigraffiti #march #marchgraffiti #creative #art #makeartnotwar #sariart #marilynmonroe #marilynstyle

❤️ #perotribe #Repost @peterdascoli with @repostapp ・・・ My brilliant friend, fashion designer Aneeth Arora, created this remarkable Press Kit for her new Pero collection @ilovepero ❤ as a travel diary based on her inspiration from Central & South America and China. The level of detail is genius and the book includes post cards, authentic tidbits such as regional bus tickets, postage stamps, sketches and notes about local costumes, hair styles, pattern/texture mixes, and snippets of her artisanal fabrics such as bohemian floral prints, embroideries, and neon yarn dyed woven stripes reminiscent of folkloric ponchos. She even stuck small post-it notes with hotel phone numbers and other doodles. 🇲🇽 🇵🇪 🇨🇳 🇧🇴 #pero #aneetharora #fashion #style #luxuryfabrics #handmade #craft #inspiration #art #madeinindia #createdinindia #makeinindia #india #genius #china #peru #mexico #embroidery
