Randyl was six years of age since the time he had been watching fashion shows with his dad. ‘It’s like watching a snake hissing’, he once noted as he saw a cool fashionable model dressed in a kind of apparel that had the snake’s hood on it. Ever since then he seemed exited about what was cool and what not. He cheered a lot of the models who wore his father’s creations.

Randyl was six years of age since the time he had been watching fashion shows with his dad. ‘It’s like watching a snake hissing’,Online fashion: too hot to handle! Articles he once noted as he saw a cool fashionable model dressed in a kind of apparel that had the snake’s hood on it. Ever since then he seemed exited about what was cool and what not. He cheered a lot of the models who wore his father’s creations. Online fashion was a much cool stuff for him. He kept in touch with the latest through the Net while he seldom wondered that what his father created was enough for the onlooker to say, ‘It’s enough watching the same stuff this guy has borrowed from other cool Ds.’ His father loved the idea ‘If you can’t do it fake it.’ At least you would be in the league. So whether he was applauded or not for the stuff he brought under his designer label after giving them a ‘designer cut’ here or there, he remained on the move. It was time for Randy D to decide what he would want to be in his life after school and college. Online fashion studies from the Milan Fashion Campus, were cool for him. Still, he rascaled the idea of being a lecturer! Then his eyes fell on the Fall Collection Catalogue and he looked at what the models were sporting. Some were wearing track pants from the Fall Collection 2013, or a curvaceous skirt, or many were donned in Bordeaux lips, eyes and nails. It was his first encounter with real fashion. Soon after, he juxtaposed himself in different kinds of couture that he could lay his hands on, and strove to explore the verve of fashion. Two sides of the same coin Randy D and Vanyaal D! One, the new one in the lot thought of fashion as an art, the other thought fashion is something that sells no need to be aggressive about ‘having to create something’. It was his Barnie coffee sipping time. He had created a profile for himself. According to him it was one of the wine colors that were in vogue, pure shine lava lipstick, metallic shadow color, with hairstyles that seemed messy, cluttered and full growth hair with gel-ons, and hazy eye wash that were meant for the folks who came in to know what is for Fall Collection. He got engrossed in highlighting the facts that flat buckle boots, digi-print blouses, one-tonish look,  metallic sneakers, box clutches, slogan sweaters, chunky old necklaces for pretty lassies, racer-front dresses were some of the items that most designers has chalked out as hot favorites. It was an invitation from the Creative Art Works, Fashion Dubai immediately after his first show under his own label ‘Randyl D’s’. Fashion Dubai was special since everything changed to anew after he went there. When first looked at the mannequins, he said as if emotions were bursting out, ‘I would have to recreate my work of art here. Nothing really matches. The West is totally different.’ And he made the molten lava just ooze out from him. ‘This is fashion recreated,’ he said, Fashion was fun as usual.
