Chameleon by Deepak&Fahad - A Story in Review
There was a time when the sun ruled the world. The trees grew, the fruit was was fresh, and the grass was amazingly green. I used to get up in the morning and feel the love radiating from the earth. Everything was so bright, so beautiful, so love-filled. And in turn, i fell in love over and over, and with everything i saw; Love at every other sight. Love at first sight is overrated. You learn to fall in love with everything every time you look at it. It's the harmony of the disoriented colors, they fit together like a puzzle meant to fall in love with.
The puzzle pieces; the people who i am, the personalities I adopt, they make me who i am. And the best thing is, this world where I am, everything fits. My mind, body and soul. All of it.
I danced in the wind like a flower. No. Let me rephrase it. I danced in the wind, for I was a flower.
But then the world changed. Concrete took over. Winds were blocked. And the sun was never seen.
But I didn't give up. I braved the harshness of the skyless rain, the exhaust air, and the dust of the plastic. I wasn't going to give up.
I stood tall, stood strong. And I survived. And i might be withered and broken, I still live. I walk on...
Deepak and Fahad's Chameleon collection shown at Fashion Pakistan Week Dubai was a colorful affair that one couldn't help but stare at, and in a good way. Usually the camo print is associated with army and some may call this military pattern so 2008, Deepak and Fahad put a whole new spin on it and incorporate the color loving man of today's needs in to the collection by making the prints full of color.
With picket fence, puzzle pieces, and tetris patterns in the collection, it was a breath of fresh air for the kind of person who just wants to have fun with his clothes and wants a breather from all the dapper being spread around..
Deepak and Fahad have stuck to colorful patterns for this collection and it's safe to say that that is their signature; putting a colorful spin on menswear. The collection will appeal to the younger lot more than it might the older audience, but I think it's time to make exceptions.
