Amritraj
Bora is a fashion designer
from New Delhi and a rising star among the multitude of fashion
talents rapidly putting India on the global fashion map. His
distinctive designs reflect a love for nostalgia, a glance into the
future and eventually a fascination towards the many nuances of the
progressively decadent woman. Amritraj was trained at the export
fashion houses where he worked for Prada, Chloe, Roberto Cavalli,
Allsaint and other European high fashion brands. He launched his own
label in 2012. Amritraj was chosen by the Ponds Femina Miss India as the finale gown designer for Miss Earth 2012, and in 2013 he served as the finale gown designer for Miss World and Miss Heritage World. Many Bollywood divas have worn his creations for the FILMFARE and IFFA red carpet awards ceremonies. He has done numerous fashion shows and received many accolades. His clients include Malaika Arora Khan, Sonal Chauhan, Esha Gupta, Mugdha Godse, and Gauhar Khan among many other celebrities from the film, fashion and corporate worlds.
Award
winning designer Daniel Syiem has presented his
collections at numerous fashion shows throughout India including Lakme
Fashion Week, Rajasthan Fashion Week, Hyderabad Fashion Week, Indian
Fashion Summit (New Dehli) and Oriflame. His impressive collection of
awards recognizes his unique international style and focus on
promoting organic and ethnic materials exclusive to the Northeast
region of India. His forte in western wear is apparent in the clean
silhouettes, seamless fluidity and interesting drapes in his designs.
Blending fashion and style with the essence of
traditional cloth, the label Daniel Syiem has started making waves in
the country. His designs have been featured in top magazines including
Eclectic North-East, Grazia, Elle, Vogue and Harper’s
Bazaar. He recently presented his Autumn/Winter collection at
Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2013 to wide acclaim by fashion
insiders and the media. Ikali Sukhalu's creations are a fusion of modern influences and Naga ethnic wear. Her latest collection is inspired by the rich weaving traditions of the tribes of Nagaland and the legendary silks of Assam. The collection blends these two distinct weaving traditions creating pieces that have relevance outside the cultural mould. Tribal motifs and hand woven fabrics nestle on modern silhouettes to bring the ancient opulence of chiefs to the streets of today.
