unveil summer 2009 collection in Bangalore Bangalore:
Various fashion designers showcased their summer 2009 collections in Bangalore,
which included both Indian and western clothes. The participants were- Ramesh
Dembla, designer duo Anu Nagappa and Susan Fernandes from Astara and Michelle
Salins. Dembla's collection was displayed in two sequences. First called 'angel's
fantasy' with dresses and gowns in white, and the second called 'ethnic saris'
featuring saris in various colors and embellishments. "Tonight I showed a collection
of mine called 'Angel's Fantasy' that was all gowns in white with very minimalist
embellishments but very beautiful cuts and (they are) very nice clothes to wear.
The second sequence is called 'ethnic saris', which we did for the finale," he
said The showstopper for Dembla's show was Bollywood actress Aarti Chabaria, who
sashayed down the ramp in a pristine white sari. "Actually I did get a glimpse
(of the show). I think the colors were beautiful, very vibrant and very well put
together and very-very classic," she said. Nagappa and Fernandes presented a vintage
collection in white, with silhouettes from the 60s, but with a very contemporary
edge. Lace detailing on pure cotton, khaki, silk, chiffons and georgettes in whites
had also been used. Meanwhile, Salins collection was titled 'The Butterfly'. As
the name suggests, the designs were playful, energetic, cheerful, vibrant, bright
and sensuous. The collection featured hot pants, bubble dresses and skirts in
pure silk, satin and brocades teamed with interesting accessories. To suit the
Indian summers, designers smartly put a wide variety of color and fabrics into
use. -May
