Jug Surauya was lucky to be at the Van Heusen India Men's Fashion week. But Who ever invited him (just to have him give a slap back)? This is in reference to Jug Suraiya's article 'After a Fashion'.
The columnists was physically present to witnessed the VHIMFW show. The article talked about his alienation to men's fashion and females designers. He went on to explain eloquently how models looked and their attire when they strolled down the runway. He felt they were 'pilgrims' like those kanwararias- who'd gone off course and hadn't been to a barber for a while. He felt that the tie looked like a napkin and that the model had forgotten to remove it from his neck the same way he had forgotten his shirt (as the model was off shirt).http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/jugglebandhi/entry/after-a-fashion
As I mentioned earlier, eloquently written. However, the interpretation of what fashion is, is very disturbing. He thought it was hilarious but it think is absurd. Men did fashion as well? that was his question, unbelievable. I mean its alright by me if you have little knowledge on a particular topic. But to actually mis interpret its essence- that is just not fair. I say this because the effect on the readers would be tremendous. The whole idea of fashion has got nothing to do with gender. The models looked a certain way because it is a collection and the designer had for sure planned it that way. I feel it is just a mockery on new ideas and concepts. For him becoming a designer male model is merely not shave for four days and cut his hair for six months. Glad Jug Surauya was not able to digest the ramp. Imagine how could he have digested whats behind that glamorous ramp. I guess he needs a little dosage of the Vogue's Fashion Night Out on Sept.10/2010 (probably his perception would change).
