BOLLYWOOD MASALA

Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor presents a creation by Indian designer Tarun Tahiliani’s Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai October 21, 2008. collection during the second day of

Day-2 started with leggy models walking the ramp for the effervescent talents Jyoti Khaitan, Manish Gupta and Pallavi Murdia. Manish Gupta spawned an enduring collection with a much focused use of cotton Chanderi and georgette. His collection was an utterly feminine collection of short dresses beautified in the colours of pastel ivory, yellow and black. With not much embellishments Manish restricted himself to cotton tape designs and a slight tint of glitters here and there revamping the attires. His finale of two princess and Empire waist line black dresses, one of whose pleats were finely glittered while the other looked like princess’ attire with flair were truly a delightful watch!

Tarun Tahiliani- who also showed at the Delhi Fashion Week- showcased his Levi’s collection with the various designs of a conventional denim with Swarovski crystal embedded on them. The silver chains and crystals dangling everywhere were truly Tarun’s masterpieces. Even the denim Bermuda shorts with zardosi patch works had the glittery work on them.

Tarun Levi’s collection was undoubtedly the crowd puller. The finale had the gorgeous ‘Saawariya’ Sonam Kapoor as Tarun’s bride in a bleached white denim covered with jeweled chains and crystals. She sputtered with poise and model-like performance on the ramp and was a real stunner!

G Pia Fleming was a surprise. Glittery, colourful breezy dresses in off shoulder made quite a mark. Fleming’s collection was truly a fresh breeze of cut and texture.

Aastha Bahl’s ‘Misteltoe’ she collection was everything promised: comfortable western clothes for woman and an aesthetic design. Her fish like pattern was a constant factor of her display, the colour base was neutral crème. Aastha’s beautifully designed dresses with shoulder straps, kangaroo pockets with hoodies and backless flared dresses were a treat for the eyes. Her fashionable display of leggings (leg wears), multi coloured ankle warmers added a funky touch to her creation. Aastha’s creations were must haves for summers!

Rahul Mishra was somber in pastels: brown, beige and whites. The finishing looked like it required some touches, though. Anupama Dayal’s digital prints were quite wearable. The greys, whites and golds would rock at an evening party.
