Timothy Everest known for designing clothes for icons like David Beckham and Tom Cruise was in India for the third time. This time around he was here to launch the spring summer collection at a special fashion event in association with Raymond and The Wool Mark Company. While speaking on the occasion, he said that he was surprised to notice that Indian men’s formal wear are restricted to three to four colours. The suits specifically are black, blue, grey and brown; very much disappointing for a country like India which is known for its colourful costumes.
Colours Added for Men’s formals while retaining Indian element
He had to design the suits brining in colours at the collar portion, a unique way to bring in the Indian element for the special show. This style enabled bringing in individuality without losing focus on the Indian formal dressing styles. Everest, the creator of costumes for movies like “Skyfall” and “Mission Impossible” saud that the new idea of adding colours to collar was an attempt to play safe and also bring in an element of surprise while promoting the bespoke clothing. Traditions, culture and motifs of India is a huge attraction for this 54 year old craftsman who was recognised with MBR in 2010 by her Highness Queen Elizabeth.
Indian Fashion Industry poised to grow internationally too
With a keen eye on South East Asia and Middle East, India is an emerging market in fashion industry, a fact proven by many brands that ventured successfully in this sub-continent. He perceives Indian market as dynamic and impressive, which is open for new things and predicts that Indian designers will very soon compete in international fashion markets. In the interim, he also hints at being interested to design for Bollywood films too. Currently working on “Spectre, a Bond Movie, Everest is open to launch his own brand in India and is trying to explore opportunities for the same.
