This is the very first time that the designer has developed a
ceremonial men's wear collection using the brilliant Flatback Xilion
Hotfix elements and buttons from Swarovski elements.
"This has been my fifth and (in retrospect) boldest year at the HSBC
Colombo Fashion Week. Harnessing the glamour of Swarovski elements in
the FH men's ceremonial range has had a fabulous impact on the
international audience here. It has wowed them to say the least and has
taken the collection to a totally different level.
"The feedback I've got is very positive and most encouraging. This, I
am confident will inspire more local designers to create differently and
unveil their own unique collections on par with international
designers", said Fouzul Hameed
The "FH Studio Spring Summer Designer Collection" attracted great
acclaim from the packed-to-capacity audience as designer Fouzul Hameed
walked down the catwalk in the finale. The general consensus was that
this was "an elegant selection and showed off Sri Lankan excellence with
an international flair".
The outfits, their finish, quality and style blended seamlessly with
the best of European fashion collections, thus offering a wider
selection for the discerning and fashion conscious male both in Sri
Lanka and overseas.
The FH Brand is currently marketed in India, Maldives and Czech
Republic to a rapidly growing portfolio of discerning customers which
Hameed says is a significant achievement. "Yes it gives me a sense of
personal achievement, but more importantly, it has parallely brought
honour and glory to Sri Lanka.
"My heartfelt thanks go to the HSBC Colombo Fashion Week for
recognising many young and upcoming designers and positioning them on
the international map".
Says the President and Director of the HSBC Colombo Fashion Week Ajai
Vir Singh, "CFW is concentrating more on the business of fashion this
year, as that has to be the basis of a robust local fashion industry, as
every year the industry progresses with CFW, so a lot is riding on this
project. FH is a great supporter as the brand and the collection is
growing by leaps and bounds.
"This growth also mirrors how CFW is becoming a stronger platform
every year supporting local brands."
