Adding further highlights to the collection
was the specially crafted jewellery. Giant intricately crafted ear flaps and striped
hair pieces perched at the back of the models’ heads complemented the garments
in an innovative manner.

Pleats played an important role, while a clever play
of sheer and opaque metallic shimmer gave the creations a sexy seductive feel.
Lattice work, laser cutting for wide peplums and intricately crafted flared
skirts were a breathtaking part of the show.

His showstopper was the very regal,
gorgeous, Sushmita Sen, Miss Universe 1994 who was a grand end to the show as
she glided in a black, striped, fitted, draped gown.
When women want to make a sensational
entrance and are daring and bold to carry off strong crafted ensembles, Amit
Aggarwal’s creations will have the perfect impact on the gathering.

MASABA
GUPTA – FOR THE FREE SPIRITED WOMAN
The name Masaba Gupta conjures up visions
of collections that are feisty, free and fashionable. Star winner of the Gen
Next designer show in 2009, Masaba’s rise up the fashion ladder has been
phenomenal. Her collection “Wanderess” inspired by renowned poet Roman Payne’s
character Saskia, had all the characteristic touches that the young designer
lavishes on her garments.

For a show stopping entry, it had to be

Touches of Goa appeared in the form of geometric
leaves and flowers print for loose beach covers over white bikini. Saris with
the characteristic Masaba prints in white, brown, black and yellow were teamed
with long sleeved black/white leaf print blouse. Flared minis in beige, slinky
gowns with multi prints, long sleeved, thigh length jacket with flared pants
and cut-out sari gown, brought the mood of the fun times of the 1960s. Trapeze
printed top with bell sleeves, attached dupattas for skirts, bell bottom style
shararas, long sleeved tail-coat cholis with printed saris and drop waist will-power
maxi added to the options that Masaba offered.
When it comes to garments that leave a
lasting impression on the audience, Masaba Gupta’s “Wanderess” collection will
once again create waves in fashion circles.
