October 29, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): The latest edition of Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week had a grand closing last night with Bollywood stars Shilpa Shetty and Chitrangada Singh taking the ramp for designer Tarun Tahiliani.
Taruns collections were supposed to bring the curtain down for this season with two sizzling showstoppers from Bollywood. To give a grand feel on the closing day, the backdrop of the majestic set welcomed sexy Shilpa on a stunning white lehenga and a net blouse. The entry of the ramp was decorated with larger-than-life trees and the show area was lit with green, blue, orange, yellow and red lights.
White jute was used to construct the entire ramp and white stripes were used for the ceilings. Tarun opted for his best style contemporary designs with western silhouettes for the grand finale.
An elated Shilpa was quoted saying that Tarun is more like a family to her and he brings out a new avatar in her every time so she loves to work for him.
Coming to Chitrangada, she was looking like an epitome of Indianness with silk blush gauze saree encrusted with crystallised elements.
Tarun termed his collection as New Democracry, which is aimed at offering a new direction to India's textiles, prints, fabrics and colors. The designer wanted to revive the lost Indianness in fashion industry. With his latest collection, Tarun wanted to bring back the use of Indian handlooms and drapes.
The designer said that he takes inspiration of Indianness from the poor and the lower class, who represent the actual India. Well, it sounds little contradictory because these collections are being presented by two elite class actress like Shilpa and Chitrangada!
