There's something aggressively charming about Prashant Verma
There's something aggressively charming about Prashant Verma. His stint with international biggies Alexander McQueen, Philip Traecy and John Galliano had impressed most fashion front runners before he showcased his debut collection in 2007.
Yes, everyone had a good chuckle when he screenprinted his raw George Michael look on tops, dresses, even pants.
Whatever! But he has managed to escape the wrath of the finicky fashion fraternity.
His Fall/Winter line showcased a beefed up Arnold Schwarzenegger on an AV, followed by model Sapna Kumar strolling in wearing a rugby dress with exaggerated shoulder pads. He teamed rubgy-inspired jackets and pants with graphic tees.
The Cinderella Man's ticket to a content existence depended on that one boxing match with an unruly opponent. But Prashant lacked toughie James Braddock's vulnerable urgency.
The scope of working with new ideas was left unexplored, as he continued to rely on exaggerated cap sleeves, stiff armoured styling and spray-painted prints from a two seasons ago. Prashant's next show could decide his Fashion Week future.
