Gitanjali Luxury Style Fest 2009

A dazzling line of collection by renowned designers like Rocky S and Vikram Phadnis, who are known for their sense of drama, flamboyance and panache and whose names are synonymous with style and luxury dazzled the audience at the Gitanjali Luxury and Lifestyle Fest 2009 at the Turf Club, Mahalaxmi Race Course on 22nd January, 2009. 

The show kick started with the collection showed by Rocky S, Raima Sen being his show stopper. The collection had a summer touch in it. It was an eclectic mix of color, texture and style. Springy fabrics like linens, soft voiles, and cotton blends were ornamented with shimmer and shine by way of colorful sequin embroidery. 

And then the Grande Finale, by Vikram Phadnis, showcasing the Indian bridal wear. The bridal collection touched the middle ages and brought back the old Mughal era. Ornate luxurious lehengas kurtas, dupattas, saris, elaborate sherwanis and Achkans embellished with intricate zardosi, gota and bagh embroidery, velvet cutwork made each piece exquisite in its contemporary style. 

The show started with Katrina Kaif making a lavishing entry in her Vikram Phadnis’ bridal wear. The crowd went on their feet and could not stop applauding.  

The show finally came to an end by ‘band walas’ blowing their trumpets and drums on the famous beat of ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge’ and models taking their final walk of the night. Sameera Reddy and Celina Jaitley were Vikram’s show stoppers too.

The event was no doubt a big success with people pounding on each other to get a glimpse of the three show stoppers. 

Indeed a night where glamour met style. - SAMPURN
