                  File  A bridal creation makes heads turn at an 
                  event in Mumbai          Mumbai: 
                  Models walking the ramp on the background score of Hindu 
                  chants and live wedding band playing at the ramp, lent a perfect 
                  ambience to the bridal collection by ace fashion designer Vikram 
                  Phadnis. Held on Thursday in Mumbai, the show was applauded 
                  for its stunning creations. Traditional Indian outfits for both 
                  men and women in striking colours and designs dazzled the fashion 
                  lovers for its sheer opulence and magnificence. Lehengas, (traditional 
                  skirt worn by women), saris (a traditional drape), achkans (long 
                  jackets) in bright colours made for a perfect collection for 
                  bride's a trousseau. With wedding season just round the corner, 
                  the collection was perfectly timed by Phadnis, who had worked 
                  realty hard to put it together. "This is my first solo bridal 
                  show. So for me it is very important, I've really worked hard 
                  on this collection," said Phadnis. The outfits were adorned 
                  with heavy embroidery work and stones. Phadnis had also roped 
                  in Bollywood actresses to walk the ramp in his creations, which 
                  won lots of appreciation by them. "I have to say that, wearing 
                  bridal outfits has always been very difficult for me because 
                  its very heavy, but Vikram has worked a lot on this," said Sameera 
                  Reddy, actress. Phadnis' show was part of the 'Gitanjali Luxury 
                  Style Fest', which is India's first luxury event that celebrates 
                  high-life in the most exuberant manner.-Jan
