Aditya College at Bombay Times Fashion Week April 2023

Mesmerised by the beauty of Victorian-era dresses and inspired by the works of the Late Charles Frederick Worth, who is also referred to as the Father of Haute Couture, the students of Aditya College of Design Studies (Batch 20-23) selected a Vintage, Victorian Fashion theme. They fused it with the Goth Fashion subculture. Goth Fashion celebrates the darker aspects of life. Dark and rebellious aesthetics combined with Victorian romanticism brought justice to the theme, which was rightly titled the ‘Renaissance of Gothic Haute Couture’. Long robes, layered skirts, fishnets, gloves, and tightly laced corsets styled with oxidised silver jewellery defined Gothic Clothing. These depicted a conspicuously dark, and mysterious fashion aesthetic, which consistently involved the colour black. Talking about the silhouette, the Victorian period was dominated by fitted bodices and flared skirts with petticoats. Looking back at this gilded fashion, the collection appreciated and revived the charming history of fashion at #BombayTimesFashionWeek2023 with the mesmerising showstopper @ritikakhatnani. @acdsmumbai @goschoolhyflex #BTFW23 #BTFW2023 #BombayTimesFashionWeek #BombayTimesFashionWeek2023 #FashionWeek #FashionShow #FashionStyling #Fashion #FestivalofFashion #FashionStyle #OOTDFashion #Runway #HighFashion #FashionForward #BTFW #PresentingSponsor #GoSchoolHyFlex #VirtualLearning #OnlineEducation #MumbaiHybridSchool #AdityaCollegeofDesignStudies #GothicClothing #VictorianFashion
