Lakme fashion week: Snippets of day 5
The finale of the Mumbai fashion week was a special affair with young designers Kallol Datta and Pankaj and Nidhi showcasing their Winter/Festive collection. The lack of celebrities in the front row, was more than made up by actor Kareena Kapoor adding a touch of glam as the showstopper, though we were surprised to find none of her Bolly friends cheering her on. Kallol’s line took the black and white theme forward with tunics, gowns and skirts with snail prints, faces and detailing like fabric fringes. Pankaj and Nidhi played on texturing with quilting and lattice work on their kimono style gowns, ponchos and tunics. The designer duo has won an international award, and will be competing with other winners next February at London Fashion week, where they’ll be judged by Karl Lagerfeldhimself and Albert Elbaz and Alexandra Shulman — the gods of fashion.
Injury alert
Through the week, models complained of minor injuries at the event. While no major accidents occurred, a number of models ended up getting scratches from some of the designer outfits. A few were seen tending to their wounds with ointment in between shows as they hung outside the green room, as there was no designated space for models to unwind either.
Tamara missing
Top model Tamara Moss, who was expected to walk the ramp at LFW this week, was absent from the event. A source told us that Tamara had missed the fittings which supposedly the organisers were miffed about, hence she was apparently asked not to be part of the fashion week.
No time to breathe
The tight schedule at the fashion week was something quite a few people were unhappy about. Back to back shows between the main show area and the Talent Box meant attendees and media alike had to run back and forth with shows almost overlapping because of delays.
