Deepika Padukone dazzles ramp at India Fashion Week New
Delhi: Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone on Sunday rocked the ramp for two
designers at the ongoing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week here. On the fourth
day of the fashion week, Padukone was the show-stopper for designers Rana Gill
and Rina Dhaka. The actress dazzled audiences in a multi-hued full-length gown
and a short brown-and-white dress on a day when ballroom gowns and cocktail dresses
ruled the ramp. The actress expressed happiness on returning to a place from where
she started. “It’s great to be back with the same people I started off with and
to know that they feel the same way for me. No one has changed. It’s the same
make-up artistes, same designers, same models and choreographers. So it’s really
nice to come back to a place from where I started off,” Padukone said. Drawing
inspiration from nature and science, fashion designers Rina Dhaka and Rana Gill
showcased an exclusive collection, ‘Nature Meets Science’, for upcoming Autumn/Winter
season at Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week here. Brown and black dresses dominated
Dhaka ’s autumn/winter designs while Gill featured dark brown, green and blue
gowns and mini-jackets in her collection. “All the colours of velvet, all basically
peacock colour– blue, green, purple have been used. As a designer I love colour.
So every season I try and use colour in my palette. So that was the collection
for you,” Gill said. Making use of new printing techniques and huge motifs and
fabric texturing Dhaka ’s collection was a mixture of innovation and technology
along with history and science to make something completely new. The ongoing Wills
Lifestyle India Fashion Week to showcase autumn-winter collections has registered
175 buyers, from both domestic and international markets. However, the global
meltdown has affected the turnout of buyers who are opting for smaller quantities
for their fashion houses. -Mar
