Yuvraj, Uthappa walk the ramp at India
fashion week
New Delhi:
Cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Robin Uthappa walked the ramp
for country's ace designer Raghavendra Rathore on the fourth
day of the Wills India Fashion Week. Yuvraj Singh appeared
at ease in a stylised long jacket, as he walked the ramp amidst
a volley of whistling and cheering from the audience. Simple
cuts with lots of bluing in gold and silver comprised Rathore's
collection for the autumn-winter season. Models walked the
ramp in formals and semi-formals for both men and women with
western styles ruling the most part of the collection. Deviating
from the western was the designer duo of Mona Pali, as they
turned to traditional Indian embroideries and artwork in their
collection. Silhouettes infused Indian drapes and western
styles creating indo-western fusion as the main stay of the
collection. Traditional Indian 'Kantha' work with lots of
hand painting set the ensembles apart in an interesting colour
palette of ivory, black, grey to highlights of lilac, magenta,
pink, violet, purple and blue. "We have used a lot of traditional
work. We have tried to bring the traditional 'Kantha' work
of West Bengal on the ramp. There is lots of layering and
fabrics that have been used are all natural. We generally
work on natural fabrics a lot," said Pali Sachdev, designer.
"I think its great and I have worked with Mona Pali before.
They are fabulous designers and I am honoured to be part of
their show," said Nina Manuel, a model. This is the eleventh
edition of WIFW and it promises to be a grand affair with
around 84 designers and 40 shows. The five-day event, which
opened in New Delhi on March 12, is being held at the Pragati
Maidan. Events like the Wills India Fashion Week provide a
platform for the designers to directly interact with the buyers
and do good business.
