The India Couture Week was an event that many fashionable people waited for. A rich and ornate Ritu Kumar show was the best way to start the HDIL India Couture Week. The collection managed to entrance the crowd with its sheer opulence and beauty. Ritu Kumar or also the diva of Indian fashion designing completed 40 long years in the field of Indian fashion and the show marked this to the fullest.
This designer opened one of the most high profile fashion weeks in the country with a great bang. It was an anniversary collection with the emphasis on her retrospective works. The designs were not simply traditional but successfully intertwined modern elements as well. All eyes were fixed on the ramp as Priyanka Chopra, the beautiful Bollywood damsel swished in an ornate red kali lehenga. It was teemed with an emerald green choli with a sweetheart neckline and churi sleeves in net. The look was Indian with the right touch of modernity. It was a brilliant traditional outfit displaying rich embroidery. The fit of the choli was perfect, while the embroidery was flawless. The hemline was exquisite using ghunghru as tassels.
The dupatta to was very ornate and covered fully with sequins to enhance the complete look of the outfit. She managed to steal everyone’s hearts with her bollywood style attitude, an ornate teeka, and the kajra-re hairstyle. Neha Dhupia was also seen in a purple lehenga choli by Kumar. Riya Sen strode the ramp in a golden choli and lehenga, while sister Raima wore a tunic with Rajasthani patterns. Others who scorched the stage in Ritu Kumar’s creation were Nayonika Chatterjee, Carol Gracious, Jesse Randhawa, Tapur Chatterjee, and Dipannita Sharma.
On the final day of the week, style guru Manish Malhotra exhibited his bridal finery in the form of graceful lehengas cholis, anarkali salwar suits, and much more. Just like the ethereal saris of this designer, the ensembles in this show were breathtaking. The sensual net dupattas added a lot of drama to the clothes. The traditional Indian suits and the shararas in vibrant shades were picture perfect. He created a Mughal look for his collection. His famous net saris in a mess of crystals were a rage. Velvet was the material he used for his ornate lehengas and he decked them up with Swarovski crystals. The look was well balanced with fluted blouses and lurex cholis.
