Comic character Tintin made his presence felt today at the ongoing Lakme India Fashion Week 2005, with designer J J Valaya showcasing his collection inspired by Georges Remi's creation.
With young fans of the 'Unofficial Tintin Fan Club' sporting the unique Tintin hairstyle sharing the limelight on the ramp with the models, Valaya's show reminded the audience of the legendary comic character.
"I have grown up reading Tintin comics and unfortunately the character is not as popular as it used to be. It is a tribute to him and particularly so on Remi who created such a character," Valaya said.
Valaya's 51 outfit collection was based on Tintin's adventures 'Prisoner of the Sun', 'Bashi Bazouk' and 'Tintin in Tibet'.
Fusing imagination with realism, Valaya's clothes were structured, wearable and very high on style but the presentation had a contained level of drama in it. The ramp was covered with a long fur carpet and little 'Tintin'
Priced between Rs 2000 and Rs 19,000, according to the designer, the collection is targeted at both the international and domestic markets.
