Fashion is about something that comes from within
you. – Ralph Lauren
I am sure Ralph not only referred to the creativity
that a designer craves or finds within himself but
also something that many individuals always strive
to find- a level of satisfaction in being themselves.
When people stand in front of the mirror to have a
good long look at themselves, they always hope to
see a better reflection of themselves than what they
have seen previously and with all this, they have grown conscious of how they
appear and how comfortable they are with what they wear.
Not only their clothes, but also their comfort level, express the sense of style and
their conformity to the outer world. A world that we humans have come to fear in
our own true self and have taken shelter in nuisances which have created gaps
among the civilization of humans and here we stand at crossroads with our very
own self being.
In this issue, what we have focussed on might not be the mainstream fashion and
people might not get the hype that revolves around the fashion world but what we
have here is something that is responsible for all that we have achieved so far in this
industry. Be it natural beauty by Lynn Theisen, backstage brilliance by Ishaan Nair, or
the street fashion by Rohit Arora which is now gaining popularity among the more
prominent photographers.
The interview with John Rawson is an eye opener. He is has been through it all and
his experiences form a great lesson for all of us. The series of Roshini Kumar with
Suhail Nayyar is also a masterpiece in itself which is a true symbol of comfortable
fashion statements. Rod Klein and Jorge Gonzalez’s underwater fashion
photographs present an altogether different approach to see things.
Public Relations Another mesmerizing story is that of Michael Lee, a street photographer who has
done a commendable job with the expressionism and Zina and Zoya tries that out
on the fashion front. This pair gives a totally different level of satisfaction to the
viewer.
Staff Photographer I have come to believe that there is a very fine line between comfortable fashion and
the nonchalant way of expression and fashion is also a little more than just being
comfortable, it is about presenting a style of living to the world. A style that is yours
but makes you of the whole world. The chauvinism you display is the statement you
make every time you step out of your home. Be careful what you portray but also, be
free, because you are.
