Made In India
November 17th, 2009 at 3:13 am . by PriyankaThough we were delayed in posting about this, better now than… :)
This shoot styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania for Vogue showcasing the latest and greatest from Indian designers is an instant favorite; it couldn’t have been easy working with so many models and designers/varied designs and yet she’s done an impeccable job! Like the vibrancy of it.
For the entire spread in high res and more pics, go Here.

i love the one with the umbrellas!!
very good styling, i must say!
I dont think she hs done an ‘impeccable job’
where is all those beautifal craft by our designers?its missing
i agree..nuthing stands out!!
Great shoot….lovely clothes.
I think this post is a GREAT!! And I’ve been thinking for a while that you guys should expand to other relevant topics also; like this editorial.
It would be fantastic to see more posts like this, as it makes for a change and expands your horizon and range as a blog which is always a positive thing.
It’s really refreshing to see this post.
*Great idea
There is a LOT of potential in there, it holds plenty of promise. I do love the concept . But it lacks that x-factor that could have taken a spread like this beyond the realms of fashion into those of art.
The two up top are especially unimpressive. The ones below them do work, if only because of the interesting juxtaposition of elements: the gritty urban backdrop which is mirrored in the make up and the feminine clothing styled with liberal doses of punk-chic attitude.
The clothes however are pretty uninspired, especially when taken as induviudal pieces.
Love it!! But how come there are only a couple of Indian models?
wow -i am so proud of pria kataaria puri she my fav designer -no wonders here she starts up the line up !
Hmm, I don’t really like the fact that they didn’t use even ONE Indian model.
They did use one Indian model : Lakshmi Menon is standing in the center (black outfit) in the umbrella spread.
Lakshmi is the Indian model whom i can recognize. She has that gorgeous chiselled face.
Oh, ok, my bad, haha. I assumed they would use Lakshmi, but her name wasn’t included in the list of models they printed so I thought it was just someone who looked like her.
Are the shoes from the Indian designers as well??? I’d like to own every pair shown in the shoot.
I dont think so. Very few Indian designers make quality accessories, so most magazines use western labels for shoes/ bags etc.
Also, I spot a pair of louis vittons (the red pumps with the black ankle tie-ups) and a pair of booties that I’ve definetely seen on net-a-porter.com
Dont think so…I can see some of them are YSL.
If you look at the link provided and the high-res pics, you can see the breakdown of all accessories used. :)
this drives the point home that most Indian designers are either plain confused or/and wannabes.
LOL!!! rightly put!
And why would that be? Whats wannabe about these clothes? Why is it when indian designers experiment with their cloths its wannabe? They are designers, they have an urge for experimentation.
I think its high time we start giving their creativity the due respect. As i read this site and others i feel exteremly proud of the fact that these designers create original and wonderful stuff some of which can be easily held in leauge of other great designer worldwide.
Before Miranda Priestlys of the world fire me from life ….I use the word ‘Stuff’ with all due respects ;)
Made In India? That’s pretty ironic since most of those models aren’t “made in India”..
they were ‘obviously’ referring to the garments!
Its sad that when i pick one dress and look at it, it has no “indian” element in it.
I would think that i would be able to spot a indian designer on a global scale by just looking at the clothes. But no… i dont see why we need to stress that these are by “indian” designers.
Charan, that is because there are very few Indan designers who understand the true meaning of “Branding”. u know what I mean….
fantastic!!!!!
Guys these are the clothes created by the top indian designers! for this season. i think its amazing job by Vogue. if you want craft, go to cottage industries.
and fashion is not craft? Indian fashion has nothing to do with oozing creative juices ?
its a pleasant change from the girls at Vogue putting some actor or actress on the cover of Vogue. This one is very very fashion. Only point being that I have seen some of the clothes and they fall very short as far as the finish is concerned, but do photograph extremely well. Good job Anahita.
its like bhel puri and chhole and biryani eaten together.. individually great together a mess… too much of a good thing! what a waste of pages to cram everything like that!
I don’t understand why everyone is always so over critical here. How about a little more appreciation instead of always pointing out the negative! Think about the effort people put for designing clothes or styling shoots. Has anybody thought of how difficult it must be have been to coordinate all those models and clothes?? Has anybody thought of the fact that this was shot on New York and how would they get so many Indian models? How about appreciating the fact that Vogue is putting the younger designers in the same platform as the senior ones??
