Bangalore fashion week kicks off with fashion show

Bangalore, July 23 (ANI): The Bangalore Fashion Week kicked off here on Thursday with a fashion show featuring the spring-summer collections of designers Anju Modi and Arshi Jamal.

The collections were based on typical Indian attire, in which Modi made a traditional rich Banarasi style sarees, while Jamal depicted a Mughal theme from the Bollywood film ‘Jodha Akbar’ called Jashn-e-Bahara.

While talking to the media, Jamal said the fabric he used in his collection is brocade and velvet.

“This year I have used most of brocade and velvet because these are the fabrics which are quite used in winters, and I kept the weather in mind. I have specially seen the design, which I am using this year, and are very fitted ones,” said Jamal.

“I have given more emphasis on fits and styles besides, like, embroidery, which is again my forte, and so, like, I just keep in mind international markets also,” he added.

Brazilian-model-turned-Bollywood-actor Giselli Monteiro walked the ramp at the fashion event, and wore a bridal sari designed by designer Anju Modi.

“It was really nice, you know, shooting for a long time for a movie. So after so long, I am back on runways and somehow it is just what I love to do, you know. I am doing this since when I was 17 years old, ” said Monteiro.

“It is a pleasure for me, and it always makes my heart beat fast. I do it with passion and with love, and I love to be here tonight,” she added.

The Bangalore Fashion Week will conclude on July 29. (ANI)
