Earlier this year in February in India, Vibrant Fashion Week 2010 showcased the work of some wonderful Indian designers. The fashion pieces shown over 3 days showed not only exotic and colourful rich Indian traditional styles, but also modern fashion designs from minis to hot pants. 

Stunning colours, rich brocades and lustrous silks made the best of traditional and new designs. India is a rising star in the fashion world.

Some of the Indian fashion designs shown in this section are designed to make a woman feel she is a MAHARANI of today. Equally others will make her feel like a hot chick fully up to date with trends in the western world.

If you are a buyer do consider using the innovative talent India is encouraging. I'd certainly imagine this brocade coat shown right would wow many westerners.

I was sent these stunning PR photographs by Raahul Dhyani of Akshar Events & Entertainments in India and although I have no information on the designers I hope you will enjoy viewing them as much as I have.

Just enjoy looking at the mixture of regional variations and modern interpretations that creates clothes than many westerners with their love of leggings, bare midriffs, border prints, bold brights and embellishment might adapt to their style with ease.
