A Mumbai Love Affair
By Jocelyn Gan
I have had this love affair with Indian culture for some time now. Everything from Indian cuisine, to Bollywood films and music, to its traditional attire, I always have something Indian-related on my mind (Palak Paneer!) So I was really intrigued when I came across Vibgyor while watching the Fashion Channel spotlight its recent runway show at Toronto Fashion Week.
A fashion label based in Mumbai, India, Vibgyor (which is the acronym for the colours of the rainbow) offers more than a splash of colour to the gloomy Canadian fall weather. Unique, eccentric, eye-catching, and playful, Vibgyor's collection is a fun way to spruce up any old closet! With a focus on textures, prints, and colours, the designers show that they are capable of producing clothing that does not only rely on "looking good".
Vibgyor originated in April 2008 as a passionate joint collaboration between Simone Khambatta and Roma Narsinghani.Their goal is to "garb the 'international woman' who travels and experiments with fashion". Both Khambatta and Narsinghani have an impressive background to the fashion industry, both eventually ending up in London to perfect their skills as fashion designers.
Vibgyor made its debt in Canada at the LG Fashion Week in Toronto this past October.
