On the second day of Bangalore's first-ever Fashion Week, conniesuers of life-style
witnessed extensive glamour, style and colour. Designer Priyanka Thakur on Friday
evening presented glitterati show of entire Indian collection for the ' bold and
beautiful' women starting off with saree, followed by churidar suits and short-gowns.
"The collection is called 'Bold and Beautiful'. It's for the women who are bold
and beautiful. Fabrics that we have used are chiffons, georgettes, satins and
digital prints. We have done a lot of experiment in it. We have a total Indian
collection," said Thakur. Model-turned Bollywood actor Koena Mitra walked the
ramp for Thakur's collection and candidly she admitted of having been excited
to wear traditional bridal clothes. "Normally, people see me as someone who is
extremely western. The show that I have done as showstoppers, I have always worn
western clothes. I was very excited that she wanted me as Indian bride. I got
chance to do something different," said Mitra. Designer Samant Chauhan presented
his collection woven in silk from Bhagalpur region of Bihar. Thus he enabled promotion
of fabrics of marginalised weavers. "It's my signature style that I use Bhagalpur
silk. This time, I have used linen, which is again, weaved in Bhaglpur. The collection
name was 'Green Collar'. 'Green Collar' is new concept which most of designers
are working now-days like, how you can use more eco-friendly fabric and eco-friendly
dyes. There is no colour in my collection. So, I am not using any chemical. It's
all 100 percent natural," said Chauhan. Model-turned television actor Julfi Syed
walked the ramp for Chauhan's collection. Designers Ramesh Demla showcased exquisite
collection of colourful Indo-western apparels. The four-day event will have thirty
designers, sixty models and 11 hours of fashion. It will conclude on July 26.
