Ruchika Sachdeva

UMBAI: Once again fashion designer Ruchika Sachdeva created a fashionable stir on the ramp with her "Bodice" label at Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2012 show. Her inspirations moved from history to machines and from architecture to anatomy with a marked androgynous touch. This season Ruchika was inspired by the beauty of the deep sea and marine life for her colours, textures and silhouettes.

There was a beautiful play of contrasts as natural shades danced merrily with acidic pops of hues. The deep sea came alive on the ramp with lemons, corals, greens and of course blue. The surface texturing was a delight, as 3D motifs appeared to create new dimensions. The silhouettes moved from playsuits, to maxi, and then some interesting dresses, jackets and blouses.

It was the unconventional construction which is a strong factor in Ruchika's collection. The addition of contrasts in an intriguing manner was the surprise element of the garments. Shoulders were layered, skirts had external peplum panels, and drop crotch pants were teamed with blouses with opulent contrast attachments.

For the bold inspiring woman who wants instant attention, Ruchika Sacheva's "Bodice" label will provide all the right options.

Job Prospect

In India, the fashion industry has just begun to come of age, as it is still in its fledgling stage. This industry offers plenty of opportunities for talented hard working and enthusiastic people.

Alternatively, several export houses, garment store chains, textile mills, leather companies, boutiques, fashion show organizers, jewellery houses and media houses recruit professionals interested in a career in fashion designing.

Pay Packet

The Starting monthly package can be around Rs.10, 000 to Rs.15, 000. With experience, you will acquire maturity in designing skills and a few years down the line your salary would be in the range of Rs.30, 000 to Rs.40, 000 per month. Of course, if you become a reputed designer you could demand the world.

Great fashion designers salary always shows an upward moving trend. However, hard work and a conscious effort to update the latest trends in the fashion industry are imperative.

Demand and Supply

Economically India is progressing rapidly today with even better future prospects. Therefore, the country is today witnessing rapid growth in many sectors which includes the fashion industry.

Indian fashion is gaining a lot of popularity abroad because of cheap labour and excellent craftsmanship. Many top Indian designers are now catering to this growing international demand for quality fashion products and accessories. In addition, for the demand for Indian garments, designer saris and textiles are also of great demand.

Many individuals choose careers in fashion designing today as there are many areas of work and countless opportunities within this field.

Market Watch

The scope for fashion design jobs in India is immense as Indians have increasingly become more fashion conscious and seek to enhance it in every way. Clothing companies need to hire people in a variety of jobs, ranging from fashion designers, textile designers, models, retailers, buyers and merchandisers, to provide end-to-end solutions to their clients.

According to a recent study, the India’s fashion designing industry aims to grow to Rs.1, 000 crores from the current to Rs.180 crores within the next 5 to 10 years.

International Focus

Better prospectus both in terms of salary and growth of fashion design jobs is enormous and extends beyond India’s markets to international markets too. Indian fashion designers are doing very well in almost all countries and hence the scope has broadened for students of fashion designing.

Fashion designers such as Ritu Beri, Ritu Kumar, Rohit Bal, Satya Paul and Tarun Tahiliani are known worldwide. Many Institutions provide training to potential fashion designers to expand their talent and become entrepreneurs in the fashion world. The India Fashion Week has become an international fashion event, with buyers from international stores making an appearance to transact business.

With more and more Indians dressing up and focused on looking good, there is an increasing awareness about fashion in India. The Indian fashion industry is booming. The domestic Indian Textile market is worth $25 billion today and growing at an annual rate of 15-20%.



Mega Malls are mushrooming all over. The Retail sector is witnessing a virtual explosion with the Ambanis, Mittals, Birlas and now, the Tatas making a foray in this sector. The fashion market will require thousands of trained professionals in the fields of design, management, communication and technology.

The hairstyle of a person forms one of the most important aspects of his personality. So, for most of the people, getting a new haircut or styling the hair in a new way seems to be the best way to change their look. Not many people are aware of the fact that just by changing the color of their hair; they can bring about a drastic change in their personality. The only consideration is that the hair color should be selected keeping in mind the year's hair color trends and at the same time, should go well with your skin tone. In the following lines, we have listed the hair colors that are most likely to be 'hot' in 2019.


Brunette hair has always managed to make heads turn and the same will hold true in 2019 as well. If, by any chance, you have black, purple or stripy highlights, get rid of them right away. 2019 is all about the natural look. Go for a light and warm brunette base and top it off with subtle, golden highlights. Slightly darker color at the roots and under-layers will add the perfect depth to your hair.

One of the hottest hair colors in the year 2019 is going to be ebony. A dark black shade, it beautifully complements those who have a fair skin. It will especially make you stand out in the winters, when everything around you is dull and mostly, white.

One of the most popular shades in 2009, as far as hair color is concerned, will be red. The warm shades of red are the one that are going you make you look 'hot' this season. The base of your hair should be intense, giving it depth and dimension, but topped off with golden highlights. However, you can also go for burgundy, strawberry blonde, copper brown and auburn shades.

If you are a blonde, then keeping your natural hair color is not such a bad idea after all. However, you can combine it with rich highlights and lowlights, in order to provide just the right contrast. If you are planning to get blonde color for your hair, then try to incorporate multiple shades, rather than sticking to just one or two. It will make the blonde color look natural.

If you are not ready to paint your hair black, then deep chocolate dark brown is another hair color that you can look forward. It is going to be hot in the coming year and is sure to make you stand out in the crowd. You can also mix it up, by choosing a brown shade with golden tones.

Indian Black Saree: Back With a Bang In The Fashion Circuit

Indian Black Saree: Back With a Bang In The Fashion Circuit. Designerplanet 











https://www.amazon.in/gp/search/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=fashion066e-21&keywords=black saree&index=aps&camp=3638&creative=24630&linkCode=xm2&linkId=e5d4ec0e7f8bffea37ce51e285e12e3a






















The Indian Saree- Age old, part of India’s history and culture, the oldest dress form for women in this country.

The Indian Saree does the best portrayal of the desi-indian-girl. An Indian saree has come back with a bang and a boom to the fashion circuit. Shows on ethnicity and designers  have embodied the concepts of style and tradition by creating versions of the Indian Saree. A Sabyasachi saree is different and has a unique quotient to it, while a Satya Paul Saree would be colour-centric and pleasing to the eye that favours colour. Meanwhile you have not so high-end stores selling their special versions of the Indian Saree making it feasible to choose from various options and looks. From looking elegant, to looking hot, to looking basic, to looking stylish, there is a saree for your every requirement for every look.

When Priyanka Chopra Wore the gorgeous Saree in the song Desi-girl from Dostana, it looked sizzling on screen. It literally created a bigger stir than her swimsuit scene of the film. This goes to show that the Indian Saree concept is not drab, and it’s not overtly traditional any longer either.

It has taken a turn and today, the saree is embodied internationally as well. And this is a proud moment for India for having come a long way from having seven yard sarees as the only choice to today, having seventy inch long sarees as well! So, leaving the long and short of it to your style sensibility, here’s a desi-namaste until next time!
