Fashion overdose: Do we need so many expensive clothes?
Whenever I have attended the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai, it has always struck me as an event that is a little out of my league, but something that always gets the eyeballs.
After all, isn’t fashion, at least some form of it, an increasingly essential part of urban living?
Sometimes a random occurrence is the best way to get things in perspective.
On my way to the venue this week, I overheard two college girls in the local train, planning a shopping expedition to Linking Road in Bandra, a Mumbai shopping street known for funky accessories and clothes sold on the footpath.
From their conversation, it seemed like they were on a tight budget (like most college students) but couldn’t stop talking about the kind of shoes they hoped to buy.
