From Catwalk to Sidewalk

Homage to Ashish AW12
 

 If you have never heard of  the designer Ashish, I feel sorry for you! Seriously he is a genius, and I mean that in a non 'sweety darling fashion pack way'. The eccentric mix of denim, sequins, eastern, bollywood or as Ashish called his last collection 'Bollywouldnt'. It should not work, this mish mash of cultural  influences, but it does 'work', on an epic scale.

 

Ashish Gupta debuted triumphantly at LFW  in 2004 and won the New Generation award, no less than three times. Hailing from Delhi, he studied Fine Art in India, relocating to Middlesex to do a BA in fashion design, and then to Central St Martin's to study for an MA.

 

As we know catwalk looks are not always easy to translate into real life. Luna and I have attempted to honour Ashish in our own very different ways. Luna has shown how to rock  the edgy elements of Ashish, and Lark has taken the uptown route taking only the Sequin element, for a totally different look. We adore his work. Love and light Lark
