Two things are going to happen here that you never imagined you would see coming from me. One has already happened. Yes, I did in fact quote Crazytown<\/a> in the title of this post. The second? I am writing a post about Fashion! Let me transport you fabulous readers to Fashion Week in London<\/a>. In particular, I want to focus your attention on the hottest Indian designer in town: Manish Arora<\/a>. Here is a snippet (with pictures)<\/a> from last year’s<\/strong> Fashion Week:<\/p>\n\n

As the special guest of the British Fashion Council, Delhi-based designer Manish Arora was undoubtedly under some pressure to make his mark on London Fashion Week. Although on of India’s best loved designers – his shows are nigh impossible to squeeze into – over here he’s the new boy and performing to an audience which is undoubtedly harder to please.

He seemed to pull it off. Although more costume than fashion, he gave us a spectacle that won’t be easy to forget. Models, who looked like they’d spent too much time at the village fete face-painting stall, came out in frou frou skirts buoyed by layers of coloured netting. Indian motifs and imagers covered the surface of bright fabrics, vying for position with gold embroidery, tassles and metallic discs. [Link<\/a>]<\/blockquote>\n\n

p>So how would Manish top the buzz he created last year? How would he make his gorgeous models memorable to all the buyers? One word. Butterflies.<\/p>\n\n

I actually find this to be quite sexy. Unless bodies start turning up dressed up like this. Then, not so cool.<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n\n

Is this an ode to Indian Mythology? Or Star Trek?<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n\n
