Artificial Intelligence Powers Next-Gen Fashion at Myntra

IN · · Leave a Comment
Myntra
Bangalore, October 1, 2015: Changing the way fashion trend forecasting will be managed, Myntra has introduced a revolutionary concept that leverages Artificial Intelligence and big data analytics to significantly shorten the fashion production life cycle. ‘Artie’, an indigenously developed smart bot, gathers consumer insights to create a range of on-trend, fast fashion apparel under the ‘Moda Rapido’ brand.

The AI platform was developed with the objective of leveraging technology to develop a better understanding of consumer interest/ likes and shorten fashion life cycles. The smart bot, created by a team of 25 Myntra technologists and fashion experts over the past eight months, gathers all fashion-related information in real time and uses it as a base to determine trends and forecast demand.

The complex yet seamless process shortens the design to production cycle from about 6 months in the traditional practice, to only 3 weeks. This significant reduction will benefit brands, by reducing inventory and enabling time-to-market collections as apparel brands need to spend little time designing products.This platform is therefore intended to disrupt the conventional method of forecasting fashion,based on expert opinion.

According to Gautam Kotamraju, SVP, New Initiatives, Myntra, “In all the pre-pilot studies we have conducted, this technology has mirrored what people want in terms of their style in real-time. What Artie does is, it allows us to offer trendy apparel synonymous with the current style that is prevalent on the fashion streets. We have put together a nimble supply chain which allows us to produce real time fashion and bring it to our customers in under 21 days. So, no longer does one have to look into a crystal ball for fashion which is at least six months away from the current fashion.”

Moda Rapido currently offers a collection of tees, jeans and sweatshirts for men and jeans for women. A new Fall/Winter collection has been launched and is available on the Myntra app.The product line will be extended to other categories in the coming months.

IN · · Leave a Comment
 Saiesta.comThe uniqueness is not just in the fact that it is a fashion portal run by women and serves only the women folks, but also that it offers entrepreneurial opportunity to women, aiming to make them financially self-reliant.

When women are storming into male bastions in almost every field and have been making a mark, e-commerce domain is no exception. Online fashion portal Saiesta.com, which is a brand ‘By The Women, For The Women,’ is creating a flutter in a space dominated mainly by men entrepreneurs, relatively in much shorter span.
Saiesta.com, which is a one-stop online shop for clothes and accessories for multiple occasions, is the country’s first Income Generating Fashion Portal, offering entrepreneurial opportunity to women.

“With Saiesta we aim to prove that women can give same output and even excel men in any domain of work. We saw that e-commerce was thriving but lacked women footprints. Finding it challenging, we plunged into the space and thought to offer women not just clothes and accessories that are affordable yet class apart, but also an opportunity to make money while at it. Our concept of making women entrepreneurs is a way to celebrate womanhood and make every woman feel special, either by a piece of our clothes or through the opportunity to them to earn money. It also makes us proud to say that the company has soul of woman whose expression can be seen on our offerings. With Saiesta, we want to give an ode to womanhood,” says Sonal Abroal, Chief Operating Officer, Saiesta.com.

Since its launch in January, the company has successfully made over 600 sales associates pan-India, a testimony to how popular the concept is getting with women.

Saiesta is an extremely progressive women-centric organization and a rapidly growing online fashion retail studio, which wants maximum number of women to be part of its growth and earn while others are shopping.

The avenue is open for women from all walks of life, whether students, already working, or simple home makers. The portal enlists women above 18 years of age as sales associates and allows them to augment their income under its ‘earn while others shop’ model. By becoming privileged members of the site, these women entrepreneurs can earn commission on the purchases made by women referred by them.

The portal is ideal for those women who are housewives and aim to do something for financial independence or for those who want to make extra money alongside their jobs. Women can work from home or existing work place at most suitable hours, without hurting their primary responsibilities.

Accept Indian Ethnic Wear As Power Dressing!
With new trends and styles setting in, the Indian attire is losing its sheen in the corporate wear. People shy away from wearing Indian wear in office. There is a steady decline in women voluntarily choosing to wear sarees and men to wear kurta’s as a way to power dress. Most people today opt for business suits to feel at par with the the overall concept of power dressing.

JD Institute of Fashion Technology is the first institute to take responsibility and encourage its people to sport Indian wear with full élan.Keeping this in mind, JD Institute of Fashion technology, spread across 21 states of India with 30 different centres’ is taking a pledge this Republic Day to be dressed in the Indian attire once a week for the whole year.

In order to keep alive the feeling of patriotism and keep intact the culture of our nation, this pledge has been taken, says Mr. RC Dalal, Executive Director, JD Institute of Fashion Technology. While we already train more than 5000 students all across the nation to think creatively and start a fashion trend every year, it will be nice to look back into our own culture and tradition and look at rich textile heritage for not only selling but also to wear the same in various areas of power, he adds.

It will be worthwhile to see designers to wear Indian clothing on ramp when they enter the International Fashion Weeks. It will inspire the whole nation to respect our own dressing and make it as powerful.

While politicians always wear Indian clothing to be more acceptable amongst the people all across the nation, it was worthwhile to see Shri Narendra Modi , our Prime Minister to give a new version to working kurtas during various rally’s and public meeting during the election.

This may have started at an institute but we intend to make this into a movement!

“Over the years I have visited India many times and have always been inspired by the country’s rich culture and eclectic design tradition,” said Tommy Hilfiger on the red carpet.

 “Tommy's signature preppy with a twist style and Americana inspirations are iconic - his collections are always undeniably classic, American and cool.”

Mr. Hilfiger launched two limited-edition designs to commemorate the 10 year anniversary: a shawl for women and traditional bandi for men. The iconic Indian garments have been reinterpreted with Tommy Hilfiger’s signature preppy spirit and fuse the brand’s Americana style with India’s strong tradition of celebratory dress.

The wool shawl incorporates a sophisticated white paisley jacquard on a navy blue base, contrasted with the brand’s signature red, white and navy multi-stripe design on the reverse side. Both prints are trimmed with the brand’s interlocking TH monogram jacquard. The men’s bandi – available in both classic navy suede and beige suede styles – is inspired by the fusion of Tommy Hilfiger’s iconic prep aesthetic with traditional Indian tailoring.

Diva’ni Debuts in the Arena of Movie Costuming with Dawaat-E-Ishq

IN · · Leave a Comment
The inevitable truth about cinema and fashion is that they are eternally intertwined. Cinema offers fashion a much larger platform to display its beauty. India’s first cinema inspired fashion brand DIVA’NI joins force with Director Habib Faisal and debuts in the arena of movie costuming with Yash Raj Films’ highly anticipated movie 'Daawat-e-Ishq' starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Parineeti Chopra.

Combining the Indian textural grandeur with hand craft DIVA’NI draws inspiration from the Awadh region and brings to life the authentic Awadhi girl next door look and creates impeccable fashion for lead actor Parineeti Chopra. For Daawat-e-Ishq, Diva’ni has harnessed its extensive creative flair and outdone itself by reviving Mughal influences in simple yet impressive ways.

“Director Habib Faisal handed over a huge amount of creative control for Gulrez’s (Parineeti Chopra) wedding wardrobe and this collaboration stands to revolutionise the arena of costume for Bollywood movies... Khada Dupatta, Long Jackets, Brocade Pyjamas and Kurtas in bright colours with intricate hand embroidery, create the perfect flavour of Awadhi dressing. Signature wedding costumes for Daawat-e-Ishq has brought to the forefront the legacy of traditional Indian garments”-

Says Parinita Saluja, Head Designer DIVA’NI.



“ Of Parineeti's many opulent costumes in this movie there are pieces that have intricate embroidery which compliment her beautifully, and the tremendous workmanship that goes into making even a simple dupatta, is impossible to overlook” - adds Parinita .

About DAAWAT-E_ISHQ:

Parineeti Chopra in DIVA'NI at the set of Daawat-e-Ishq
The lead actors in this movie, Aditya Roy Kapur and Parineeti Chopra look striking (even in everyday styles) thanks to the romance that Habib sir has provided with aesthetically curated fashion,
A deliciously romantic coming together of Gulrez “Gullu” Qadir (Parineeti Chopra) a Hyderabadi shoe-sales girl disillusioned with love because of her encounters with dowry-seeking men; and Tariq “Taru” Haidar (Aditya Roy Kapoor) a Lucknawi cook who can charm anybody with the aroma and flavours of his biryani and kebabs.In the clash of diametrically opposite but equally spicy cultures of Hyderabad and Lucknow, Gullu and Taru arrive at a “tuning-setting”, rewrite traditional recipes of love, crush old-fashioned world-view and make their own masaledaar albeli rangreli pichchar ... Daawat-e-Ishq!

Produced by Aditya Chopra, the film is written and directed by Habib Faisal. Music is by Sajid-Wajid.

Watch Love Happen Over Food on 19th September 2014!

Dress for Success

IN · · Leave a Comment
Your clothes express a great deal about the confident, super-achieving professional that you are. Dressing to impress is never more important than when you’re stepping out for a professional rendezvous. Clothes that exude professionalism, control and comfort can go a long way in cementing your image as the perfect power woman who will deliver as she promises. Here are a few tips to dress right and crack that business meeting that will propel your career further:

Suits: A crisp and tidy formal suit is an ideal dress which can never go wrong for any kind of business meeting. Neutral colours like black, brown, blue and off-white are perfect as business outfits. Stay away from flashy colours as they will snatch all the attention from your presentation to your outfit. Pair the suits with long pants or a formal skirt with a collared shirt or a shell top. A professional suit denotes the importance you give to that particular meeting.

Pants: Your choice of pants indicates a lot about you. In fact pants can make or break your look, so be extra careful while sporting them. Khaki, corduroy and twill are excellent choices for fabric. The pants should be properly ironed. Make sure that the hem of the pant covers your ankle but doesn’t fall on the floor. Avoid pants in denims, synthetics (polyester and rayon) and pure cotton materials.

Skirt suits: Skirt suits are suitable for those who want to look graceful and stylish, while keeping their corporate look intact. The colour, material and length of the skirt are highly important. All these attributes of your skirt should complement your personality. An inch here and there can make you look less than immaculate. Ensure that your skirt suit is properly fitted, neither too long nor too small.

Ver Moda blue summer cover
 Shoes: When it comes to shoes, keep it as simple and modest as you can. Stick to closed-toed pump shoes for a professional look. The colour of your shoe must go with the outfit you are wearing. Try to avoid high heels, flat sandals and stilettos.

Your walk and handshake are two things that show how confident you are in a business meeting. Don’t let the walk go wrong by choosing a wrong pair of shoes.

Wear minimal accessories: Prep up your look with a pair of elegant earrings and perhaps an understated neck-piece. A classic bag and a tasteful watch will further enhance the look. A little more than this will reverse the impact. Try to avoid glittering and showy accessories.

Color and Patterns: Choose your colours wisely and thoughtfully. Stick to sophisticated shades like dark grey, beige and navy blue which will keep you on the safer side. Conservative and sober patterns can further add to your professional and business-like demeanour.

Other details: Fashion simply means being comfortable and presentable. Don’t go for something that doesn’t match your personna. Learn to carry off good outfits with a greater panache. It is imperative that clothes be clean, ironed and crisp and shoes be polished properly. A judicious combination of the right clothes and right attitude will do wonders for you in a business meeting.

Cost / Quality: Put your money on quality, not on popular brands that are uber expensive. Business meetings are not for showing off labels but to present a pleasing yet sophisticated image in front of your potential clients.
