Bollywood stars sizzle on ramp at Lakme
Fashion Week
Mumbai: Bollywood
stars sizzle on the ramp on Sunday at the ongoing 'Lakme Fashion
Week (LFW) 2008' in top Indian designers creations. The highlight
of the day was Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor as he walked
the ramp for designer Arjun Khanna. The visitors present during
the show cheered Ranbir Kapoor who looked graceful in an embroidered
long coat with standing collar, straight pants in batik print
and a scarlet scarf tied around the neck. Khanna romped in
Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor, who was ecstatic after walking
on the ramp for his designer friend. "I'm a bit degraded as
far as fashion is concerned. All I know is through Arjun.
He's very passionate about everything in his life from designing
clothes to his cars and bikes and even interior decoration.
I love this guy to death and he asked me if I could walk on
the ramp and I was more than happy to walk as I also love
his fashion," said Ranbir Kapoor. The collection offered cropped
jackets and very slim fitted pants something that you can
wear over a long time and which never goes out of fashion.
The show was unique and exclusive as it successfully translated
the timelessness of conventional designs to modern context.
"Fabrics were coarser in my collection. I am looking at the
fall-winter. I played with fabrics like Coudray, Cotton Coudray
and Woolen Coudray. There is a lot of technique which went
into making of all these clothes," said Khanna.
Bath and body
product giant Lux showcased a line at the Lakme Fashion Week
for the first time and it was designed by none other than
Bollywood designer Manish Malhotra. 'Lux Temptation' was all
about bold, feminine clothes that signified the transformation
of a young girl into an adult temptress. Manish took the inspiration
from Lux's new fruit extracts - strawberry, cream, peaches
and put on display an array of flirty, feminine garments in
shades of pink, ivory, oyster and coral. Ramp scorcher Jesse
Randhawa kicked off the show dressed in satiny eye-popping
ivory gown. Designer Manish Malhotra, was not too amused at
Bollywood stars walking the ramp. These days it has become
very common that designers get the Bollywood actors and actresses
to walk the ramp for them. The public throngs these venues
just to have the glimpse of the stars and the whole purpose
of fashion week that is to showcase the clothes is relegated
to the background, says Manish. "I have done it long time
back when Urmila Matondkar walked on the ramp for the first
time then. Then Preity Zinta, Kajol, Karishma Kapoor and Urmila
all of these girls who have walked for me have worked with
me for ten years. They believe in my brand, they believe in
me, I believe in them and we had a long association but I
just feel that now it has become that let's make so and so
walk. So I think now it is time that I don't make any one
walk so today I was the Lux boy," said Manish. Top line models
of the country including Tapur and Tupur Chatterjee, Nethra
Raghuraman, Nina Manuel and Alicia Raut to name a few set
the ramp on fire with their impeccable catwalk. The event
saw the presence of the crème de la crème of Mumbai thronging
the venue to get a glimpse of this exquisite show. The who's
who of Mumbai including the Bollywood fraternity including
Urmila Matondkar, Farah Khan, Amrita Rao, Kajol and Saif Ali
Khan and Kareena Kapoor graced the occasion.
