New Delhi: Bollywood actress Hema Malini and her daughter Esha walked the ramp for designer Rocky S at the 15th edition of Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WLIFW) Autumn-Winter 2010 here on Friday. Designer Rocky S, who is among
the Bollywood's most popular designers, showcased his bridal collection, a
collection that he described in one word as 'Grace.' Rocky used bright colours with
eclectic combinations like blue, red, teal, pink, peach, burgundy and green with a
heavy use of borders, motifs and tassels used with all the bright hues. The fabrics
used included silk, georgette, chiffon and brocade. The collections included all the
traditional Indian lehenga cholis, saris, churidaar kurtas for women and brocade long
coats known as sherwanis for men. The designer said he created these keeping in
mind the mother and sister of a bride. "Well this is a very simple and traditional
collection. I wanted it more
for family... for a woman who is getting married; her sister can buy something,
her mother can buy something. I wanted to keep it very traditional. So the colours
are very pure...Indian colours. The fabrics are Indian... traditional embroidery
is being used. I just wanted to stay away from black for a change," said Rocky
S. Actor Esha walked the ramp flaunting her heavily embroidered maroon and green
bridal lehenga-choli, whereas Bollywood's veteran 'Dream Girl' Hema Malini
accompanied
her with grace in a similar coloured sari teamed with an embroidered burnt orange
coloured blouse. Hema Malini, who stole the show with her grace, praised Rocky's
collection. "It was wonderful working on the ramp with Esha for Rocky...it's a
beautiful colour combination ...2-3 colours are there in this sari with a striking
bright blouse. So it looks very nice," said Hema Malini. Designer Payal Jain also
showcased her collection. She titled her creations 'Solitary Monk,' saying it
was inspired by the mystic allure of the historical textiles and bewitched lifestyle
of the monks in Laos. The most inspiring features of the collection were the
unorthodox
usage of colour, print, texture and fabrics. The fabrics ranging from linen and
cotton jersey to hand-woven khadi to self-jacquards and soft flowing silk jerseys
were draped and styled into clean and simple ensembles. Attractive models stood
tall and pretty in draped dresses, flowing tunics, structured jackets, bias skirts,
prayer pants and draped shells in a colour palette of indigo, burnt coral, warm
chocolate and slate black. "This is a fall winter, you have to have warm colours.
This collection is inspired by monks and monasteries, as you could see the bells,
the music, the chanting and all," said Jain. The WLIFW-AW 2010, hosted by the
Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), will witness the participation of 130
designers, 75 of them also presenting shows and among whom 19 are debutants.
The fashion extravaganza will feature 43 shows. |
