Nachiket Barve, known for intricate
surface details in his clothes presented a collection called Tulipmania,
inspired by the delicate flower, said “Merino wool as a fibre has been
inspiring my work over the last few seasons consistently. I got a chance to
work more closely with it during my nomination for the International Woolmark
Prize. The versatile Cool Wool fabric has been reimagined for eveningwear and
occasion wear through this collection, in a way that’s glamorous yet sensual.
The concept was best exemplified with stunning showstopper Aditi Rao Hydari’s
outfit.
Gaurav Jai Gupta at The Woolmark Company Fashion Showcase
Gaurav Jai Gupta
showcased wool with an interesting array of blends. He said, “It all started with American travel
and art photographer Trey Ratcliff’s images from Tokyo as a reference point.
Hand-woven fabrics have been developed in merino wool, monofilament silks,
cotton, zari and stainless steel. The collection - Mumuksha consists of
separates for both women & men along with sarees.”
Rahul Mishra at The Woolmark Company Fashion Showcase
International Woolmark
Prize 2014 - Womenswear Winner Rahul Mishra’s collection was inspired by
metamorphosis in life. Speaking about his collection - the ‘Fourth Dimension’,
Rahul commented, “The Fourth Dimension is an essential tool to revisit the past
through Merino yarn and human hands in a world ruled by technology, and fight
the constant time and space to look into the future – to preserve the unseen
hand of the skilled artisan who painstakingly beats technology to infuse individual
hand skill in creating a couture expression of the fourth dimension.”
Rajesh Pratap Singh, known for his understated designs presented a
simple yet flawless collection highlighting the fluidity, drapability and
versatility of Merino wool. “Oversized silhouettes are predominant in the
collection and many garments are reflective of traditional Indian costumes but
with a modern twist and
relevance for today’s man. There are tunics in grey reds and oranges that add a
burst of color to the otherwise indigo palette. The
ubiquitous white shirt and tunic also find their place in the collection.”
Rajesh remarked.
Troy Costa at The Woolmark Company Fashion Showcase
Popular celebrity
designer Troy Costa (famous for dressing Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi)
presented his collection inspired by La Bella Figura. Literally meaning the
good impression, it was marked through
“structured
silhouettes of bespoke tailoring”, as Troy mentioned. The multi-talented
entertainer Ash Chandler opened the show, mesmerising the audience with his
soulful voice. Additionally, Bollywood actor Vidyut Jamwal walked the
ramp for the designer, embodying the Troy Costa signature look.

designer Omar Farooq, renowned for creating super-stylish looks for the current
heartthrob Fawad Khan, unveiled ‘Oriental Opulence’, a collection of
embroideries, jacquards, knitting, embellishments and printing to create rich
textile, bringing traditions to contemporary fashion. Commenting on his
collection, Omar explained, “Taking contradicting forces and realising their
complimenting nature; toying with negating dynamics, to create harmonising
effects; meshing together the disconnected to breed a connection - Oriental
Opulence is an attempt to look for divinity amongst the earthly.”
The Designer
Collaboration Showcase also focused on the Make in India concept, highlighting
the journey of Australian Merino wool to the weavers, manufacturers, brands and
designers in India – from farm to fashion.
“The idea behind the
designer collaboration showcase was to highlight the intrinsic yet not
well-known aspects of wool - lightweight and trans-seasonal - and also present
it in a very contemporary and stylish look,” said The Woolmark Company Country
Manager for India,Arti Gudal.
“The conceptualisation
of wool has always been with knitwear but our efforts continue to bring dynamic
innovations and trending styles to the fibre. The work of all the designers is
an amalgamation of the Indian and international sensibilities, highlighting the
Make in India concept and has defined Merino wool as a fashionable and
trans-seasonal fibre perfect for any occasion” For more such updates, stay connected to FOMO Fashion On My Own on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube.
With the changing weather, not only is
it time for a change in attire, but also for a switch from heavy creams to
lightweight moisturizers. It is very common for women to stop moisturizing
their skin during summers. However, light moisturizers become all the more
important in this season to save your skin from dehydration and dullness.
During summers, due to excessive heat,
the body sweats profusely, leading to loss of fluids resulting in dehydration.
Constant exposure to UV rays also lowers the hydration levels of the skin. This
loss of moisture affects the skin adversely making it look dull. So, it is recommended to use a moisturizer which is non-greasy and
lasts longer.
Remaining indoors in an air-conditioned
room might seem like an easy solution. However, air conditioners often have a
drying effect on our skin and can upset the skin’s natural moisture-balance.
Thus, it is vital to use a moisturizing cream that will
not just counter these effects on the outside but also helps restore moisture
and suppleness from the inside. Pond’s Silk Cream is
a light luxurious non greasy formula which instantly absorbs into the skin, making
it an ideal solution for your daily moisturizing needs. Vitamin E helps hydrate the skin from deep within and
Vitamin B3 makes skin look visibly radiant. Suitable for all skin types, the new
Pond’s Silk Cream is a must have for nourished incomparably soft skin.
A
nourishing treat from the Pond’s Institute, the Pond’s Silk cream is available
across all leading stores in India. It comes in three pack sizes; 30ml for Rs.
55, 55ml for Rs. 99 and 100 ml for Rs. 150. For more such updates, stay connected to FOMO Fashion On My Own on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube.

Did you'll know coconut oil is used in many natural beauty products and for good reason. It's naturally antibacterial and anti fungal, plus it is an excellent moisturizer. So read on to know how to use this ordinary product in extraordinary ways.
Makeup remover - Even the most resistant waterproof mascara doesn't stand a chance against coconut oil. Apply it directly to the face as an oil cleanser or let it sit on your skin with a cotton pad. Makeup will melt away.
Breath Freshener. Coconut oil has antifungal and antibacterial properties. Gargling for 20 minutes with a spoonful of oil (a.k.a. oil pulling) can help clear up germs in the mouth, leading to fresher breath, whiter teeth, and healthier gums.
Body Lotion. If you're into beauty DIYs, then coconut oil is a vanity essential. You can use this versatile oil as the base to make your own body moisturizer.
Cuticle Oil. Got cracked cuticles? Remedy peeling skin with a coconut oil balm right at the base of nails. It can also help your manicure last longer.
Makeup-Brush Cleaner. Cleaning your makeup brushes should be a monthly ritual. You can use a DIY cleanser that's two parts antibacterial soap and one part coconut oil.
Lip Balm. Coconut oil is the ideal remedy for chapped lips especially because it's semisolid at room temperature. Pack a bit in a miniature jar and smooth over lips throughout the day.
Stretch-Mark Cream. Expectant moms should keep a jar of coconut oil nearby to help ward off stretch marks, but anyone can use this as a topical treatment for scars. While the oil won't fade any marks, it can help prevent dark spots and blisters from forming.
Under-eye Cream. Use a dab of coconut oil on under eye bags and fine lines. It's light enough for the most delicate skin on your face.
Body Scrub. Mix half a cup of coconut oil with a handful of coarse salt or sugar to create an exfoliator. The moisturizing oil will last long after the grains have melted away.
Frizz Tamer. Flyaways begone with this smoothing treatment. Just rub a dime-size amount in your hands and smooth from mid-shaft to ends for frizz-free style that's high on shine.
Massage Oil. Warm coconut oil in the microwave and add a few drops of an essential oil, like lavender or peppermint, for a soothing massage mix.
Whitening Toothpaste. Run out of toothpaste? Grab the closest jar of coconut oil and add baking soda for a quick fix. Everyone will wonder how you got such a white smile.
Shaving Cream. Use coconut oil as a base to get a closer shave that leaves legs smooth instead of dried out. You can also use it alone or with other ingredients inthis DIY shave-cream recipe.
Dandruff Treatment. Dandruff and dry scalp go hand in hand. So send moisture right to the roots with a nightly coconut oil treatment. Just apply lightly to roots and massage in, which will also stimulate hair growth.
Body Oil. Why purchase a separate body oil when you can keep coconut oil near the bath? Just slather it on wet skin after the shower, then pat dry. You'll smell like a beach vacation all day. Plus, it has a natural SPF 4.
Itch Relief. Burns, bug bites, and bruises can all be soothed with a topical balm of coconut oil.
Deep Conditioner. You can use hot coconut oil as a preshampoo treatment to soothe dry hair before you shampoo and condition. Leave in for at least an hour for an allover moisturizing treatment. You can also use it as a leave-in conditioner by applying a small amount to wet strands to seal in moisture.
Night Cream. Apply coconut oil at night for maximum moisturizing benefits. The antioxidants are great for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles while you sleep.
Deodorant. Yes, you can make your own natural deodorant at home (and it works). Mix coconut oil with arrowroot powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and a scented oil for a DIY odor fix.
Highlighter - Simply sweep a small amount of organic coconut oil on top of makeup and leave it alone. It looks like your skin but with added glow, which is why many natural makeup brands use it as a base ingredient in their formulas.
Alternatively, you can view the beauty uses of coconut oil below.

It’s
that time of the year when temperatures are soaring and the humidity starts to
reflect on your face. As you plan to enjoy these sunny days, it’s important that
you also protect your skin from over exposure to UV rays that can cause ‘dark spots’.
Here
are some simple tricks to beat the heat and look spotless this summer:
Hydrate your skin – Good skin requires an intake of at least two litres
of water every day. However, summer demands more. Increase your daily intake of
H20 and feel the difference. Better still, add a slice of citrus for fruit-infused
water that is rich in anti- oxidants too
Go Green – A nutritious and well balanced diet is a
pre-requisite for radiant skin. Fruits and vegetables are loaded with
anti-oxidants that protect skin from damage caused by free radicals and sun
exposure.
Cleanse daily – Pollution, sun’s rays, and heat all result in
clogged pores and dull skin. Cleanse your face twice a day with a mild cleanser
to wash away the grime and dirt. But, do remember to moisturize generously once
you are through with the cleansing
Moisturize with SPF – Another very important way to achieve flawless
luminous skin is by using specially crafted creams that are designed to protect
and maintain the radiance of your skin. The Pond’s White Beauty Fairness Cream
with SPF 15 PA++ helps to brighten skin and reduce dark spots and dark circles.
Made with Spot Removal Technology Pro-Vitamin B3,
the cream penetrates deep within the layers of the skin and reduces melanin
transfer to the upper layers.
Bollywood actress, Ileana
D’cruz shares her views on sun protection, “Prolonged exposure to the
sun, often left my skin looking tired and dull. With regular use of Pond’s
White Beauty Fairness Cream, I’ve seen a visible change in my skin. I love the
light texture of the cream and my skin looks spot-less and radiant from within.”
Now unblock your inner glow with Pond’s White Beauty
Fairness Cream, available in all leading stores across the country. Pond’s
White Beauty Fairness Cream is available in35 gm for Rs. 125 and 50 gm
for Rs. 199 For more such updates, stay connected to FOMO Fashion On My Own on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube.
