Lakme India Fashion Week –Day 2

Day-2 started with leggy models walking the ramp for the effervescent talents Jyoti Khaitan, Manish Gupta and Pallavi Murdia. Manish Gupta spawned an enduring collection with a much focused use of cotton Chanderi and georgette. His collection was an utterly feminine collection of short dresses beautified in the colours of pastel ivory, yellow and black. With not much embellishments Manish restricted himself to cotton tape designs and a slight tint of glitters here and there revamping the attires. His finale of two princess and Empire waist line black dresses, one of whose pleats were finely glittered while the other looked like princess’ attire with flair were truly a delightful watch!

Tarun Tahiliani- who also showed at the Delhi Fashion Week- showcased his Levi’s collection with the various designs of a conventional denim with Swarovski crystal embedded on them. The silver chains and crystals dangling everywhere were truly Tarun’s masterpieces. Even the denim Bermuda shorts with zardosi patch works had the glittery work on them.

Tarun Levi’s collection was undoubtedly the crowd puller. The finale had the gorgeous ‘Saawariya’ Sonam Kapoor as Tarun’s bride in a bleached white denim covered with jeweled chains and crystals. She sputtered with poise and model-like performance on the ramp and was a real stunner!

G Pia Fleming was a surprise. Glittery, colourful breezy dresses in off shoulder made quite a mark. Fleming’s collection was truly a fresh breeze of cut and texture.
