Day five of the event commenced with Adarsh Gill's show wherein Esha Gupta walked the
ramp as showstopper donning a vermillion lehenga-choli ensemble accentuated
with beautiful dull-gold surface ornamentation. I think the choli is quite
fabulous -- with it's weave-like all-over geometric texture -- so resplendent
and I am a fan of novel uses of gota patti.

The
designer presented an array of suits with varying kurta lengths and pants styles
including shararas, churidars, cigarette-cuts, and dreamy sheer palazzos.

Rest of
the silhouettes included jackets paired with saris and gowns, classic plain
saris teamed with heavily embellished blouses and a some draped gown numbers --
which by the way I thought were totally unnecessary in an otherwise elegant and
very classic collection.

The next
show on day four was by Suneet Varma titled The Golden Bracelet.
Inspired by the ancient city of Pompeii, the ensembles besides the regular dose
of traditional Indian regalia were heavy on drapes and toga-like fits.
Chitrangada Singh walked the ramp as showstopper, again in a lehenga shaded
vermillion with a tulle underskirt for volume and a structured short choli.

The
palette of the collection was dominated by pastels such as pista greens,
lavenders, rose-golds and ever powder blue with a a few rustic shades added in
for a very goddess-like vibe. Feminine and delicate, I think the models looked
very dainty in some of the ensembles. Also, this time we saw a lot of European
influences in the collections -- who do you think did it the best?

Take a
look at the statement arm accessories. What do you think? That's a new high for
the classic baju-band no?

I was
however not a fan of the ensembles shown below. The sari-like twist to a
sculptured bodice, especially that moulded gold one did not seem very nice to
me. And neither did the anarkali suits which seemed very passe and blah
compared to the other outfits.
