Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu on Saturday walked the ramp on the third day
of ongoing Kolkata Fashion Week (KFW) here. Basu, dressed as quintessential Bengali
bride, stole the show with her showstopper act for fashion designer duo Mona-Pali.
"What I love about this particular outfit tonight is it has the essence of our
culture. At the same time it is very modern. It is for the modern Indian women.
We are using the artistry, which is from our roots, but at the same time we are
presenting the Indian women in various shades. I am very happy with the kind of
work people are doing," Basu said. Designer duo Mona-Pali showcased eclectic mix
of Indian culture combine with contemporary silhouettes and textures based on
Indian art and craft traditions. Another Bollywood actor Sagarika Ghatke of the
Bollywood movie 'Chak De India' fame, walked the ramp for designer Soumitra Mondal.
Soumitra's collection was very much inspired by Indian art, culture and textile.
He used fine cotton, linen, rich traditional silk and hand woven fabric for his
work. The theme of the KFW has been 'Return to Roots' in tune with the United
Nation's Food and Agricultural Organisation declaring 2009 as the 'International
Year of Natural Fibre'. The KFW focuses on the cultural heritage of Bengal region,
especially that of the handloom weavers. At least 35 of the country's top models
