MUMBAI - Bollywood actors Zayed Khan and Shruti Hassan dazzled the ramp in the exquisite collection of designer Manav Gangwani titled ‘A Tempestuous Affaire’ at the HDIL couture week.
Gangwani’s outfits had silhouettes ranging from well-draped traditional Anarkali suits and innovative churidar and kurtas.
Female models sashayed the ramp in unusual traditional drapes paired with statement blouses.
The designer used fabrics like velvets, satins, delicate nets, georgettes and antique laces, along with glistening lame and brocades. The colour palette had black, gold and emerald tones.
“The collection is called ‘A Tempestuous Affaire’ and is inspired from a piece of emerald. The gold shows how the cutting of emerald is done. It comes and glows into a beautiful emeralds so that is how it is,” said Gangwani.
Zayed Khan, who is featuring in the big-budget Bollywood film ‘Blue’, was the showstopper of Gangwani’s show, and said that being part of couture week was good as the best of the best pieces are showcased.
” I feel this is a nice structured fusion look between a sherwani and a sort of a suit in some sort of manner. I like the whole churidar and the pants. Manav has really outdone himself and we always happy to be here for him,’ said Khan.
The HDIL Indian Couture week, initiated by the Fashion Design Council of India, concludes on Friday. (ANI)
