Mumbai, Sep 22 Flamboyant designer Rohit Bal aka Guddu brought the curtain down on the inaugural HDIL India Couture Week (HDIL ICW) here in true Bollywood style when he merrily danced on the ramp after his show got over.
Bal and his showstopper - Olympic bronze medal winner Vijender Singh - as also the other models, sashayed down the runway in carefree spirit, singing and dancing to Bollywood hits Sunday night to signal a colourful end to the six-day extravaganza.
Bollywood's favourite designer Manish Malhotra showcased his collection prior to Bal's and predictably, this had a very 'filmy' touch to it.
Unlike the previous shows, the final two had Bollywood music as their background scores and this certainly added the Indian essence to the collections.
Bal's collection was inspired by the opulent costumes worn by the Mughal royalty with a contemporary twist, while Malhotra's line was meant for the newly-wed couple.
The India Couture Week was the latest initiative of the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), which annually stages two editions of the hugely successful Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) in New Delhi.
The event saw most of the 11 participating designers showcasing bridal collections - to the point of monotony. In short, it was old wine in a new bottle for the majority.
Keep in touch... Cheers
