                  File The 'circus show' called it curtains down 
                  at WIFW   
     New Delhi: 
                    Call it a drama of fashion or creativity at its best, 
                    the grand finale of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week 
                    (WIFW) 2008 concluded with a spectacular show by ace fashion 
                    designer Manish Arora's circus collection on Sunday. It was 
                    not models walking in sheer dresses, flowing evening gowns 
                    or in the empire line designs, but it was beautiful faces 
                    painted in white and red sporting clothes that one would associate 
                    only with a circus show. It was a show stealer for sure and 
                    though one would have wanted to watch the well maintained 
                    models in feminine attires, the clown pants, voluminous jackets 
                    and ruffled skirts did ensure a magnificent finale. After 
                    the show, Arora, conscious of the fact that he has set a new 
                    standard for creativity said that circus is a part of everyone's 
                    life and he couldn't think of a better closing to the event. 
                    "Circus was a theme which I thought was easily related to 
                    everybody, it could be a child, it could be an adult, it could 
                    be all young. I think, it was such a nice theme that nobody 
                    has explored it so far as a collection," said Arora. Arora 
                    said that he wanted the grand finale to be an out of box show. 
                    His collection will be retailed from Wills Lifestyle stores 
                    across India. Around 80 designers showcased their collection 
                    in this season of 'Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week', one 
                    of the major business-to-business fashion fete. The fashion 
                    week proved to be a launching platform for as many as 18 new 
                    designers. -Oct 20, 2008
