The Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) drew quite an attention this season with some rather interesting designs and well, Bollywood glitterati making quite an impact. This newfound love between the designers and the Bollywood junta is actually a natural progression. With Bollywood stars almost always opting for designer wear in their films and setting the trends across the nation, they do have a huge impact on the trade. But slowly and steadily, instead of just being the audience for their favourite designer's show, celebs these days are also ruling the ramp. Chandni Dev explores which celebrity walked the ramp at the Lakme Fashion Week this season...
Anjana Sukhani, the girl who seduced Anil Kapoor in Salaam-E-Ishq, seduced the audience at the LFW as she walked the ramp as a showstopper for Abhi & Rahul who sell their designs under the label "Abhirahul". The collection was full of velvets, khadi and silks but the one to look out for was Anjana who looked every bit pretty, that she is, in a red glittering lehenga choli and duppatta, certainly a sight to behold.
The Luck actress surely got lucky. Shruti Haasan walked the ramp this Lakme Fashion Week for none other than Puneet Nanda who showcased his collection which was inspired by the tarot card collection! Colours like emerald, royal blue, fuchsia, red, with earthy gold and tan moved onto fabrics. Shruti wore a striking blue toned sari with a stunning border with a long sleeved net choli. A striking dress indeed!
Designer Rajat Tangri wouldn't have chosen anyone but the lovely Koena Mitra to be his showstopper. Tangri who showcased his 'Vintage Romance' collection had a gracious mix of matte gold, midnight blues and monochrome black. This svelte lady wore black shimmering mini with pink edging. Very edgy indeed!
Another singer who took to ramp this Fashion Week was none other than Shaan. He was the showstopper for Troy Costa, who showcased a mix of evening gowns, cocktail drapes, tailored suits and shift dresses. Shaan set the tone for the show as he launched into "Where do I begin" from Love Story as he walked the ramp with his wife in a shimmery black suit.
Chitrangda Singh's beauty is outstanding. No wonder then, that Arpan Vohra chose her as the showstopper for his show. Arpan's collection was an ode to old Bollywood glamour. Lots of sequins, shimmer and crystal work. Chitrangda walked down wearing an intricately worked bodice, tulle skirt teamed with sheer churidar. The beauty and grace with which the lady carried the outfit was simply outstanding.
