The veteran designer stuck to his signature style with Greek goddess as the theme. He toned down on the embellishments and embroidery in tune to his theme â Negativity can't fuel creativity. Even on accessories, he was too restrained.
"Beauty lies in the eyes of the viewers. I have used very little jewellery and with almost no makeup yet keeping the feminity intact," said Tarun. Basic whites, creams, ecrus, beiges and colours of spring were on flowing chiffons and georgettes defined his expert line. "These outfits can also be offered in bright red or black. This is the collection for summer 2009."
Apart from the usual chikankari, silks, kantha work and chanderi; bandhini (tie and dye) was perhaps the only exception from his usual designs. "Well this time I have chosen Bhandhini for my collection. From bubble dress, tunics, to tops and jackets, I have used them for all to give a diverse look," he added.
About his claim that Renu Tandon â taking part in the WIFW â has copied one of his pieces, Tarun said, "Copyright is a very serious issue. Every year I buy 10-15 prints and I take the copyright for them and then I do my own thing on it. This kills the persons desire to wear original because of the duplicity happening around," he revealed. Speaking about the coinciding fashion events â WIFW and DFW â Tarun expressed his disappointment saying, "It's a terrible thing that this clash is happening; we have become a laughing stock for the people.
It's getting so difficult just because of the egos of some people. We should have newness to the cloths and not the dates. Sensible people should have sat together and decided on a schedule," he concluded.
