Designer Manish Malhotra presented what he does best, bridal wear. While the outfits themselves were pretty, it wasn’t something we haven’t seen before.

This may rub the fashion folks the wrong way but here’s what we thought of Mr. Arora’s presentation: A bummer. Had the show been billed as a ‘retrospective’, you wouldn’t have heard a pip from us. But considering that wasn’t the case (either that or we missed the memo, and in which case we apologize), showing pieces from his previous collections felt bit of a let-down. Especially to fans (no really, long-time fans) like us who longed to see something new. No doubt, those in attendance really enjoyed the craftsmanship and sheer genius up close… But for us voyeurs, felt bit of a cop out.
Just us?

This high priestess of style delivers and how. Anamika Khanna’s latest presentation was every bit exquisite and covetable as most of her collections have come to be. Intricate craftsmanship and skillful use of color was hard to miss. This collection was made of separates to lust after and evening-wear we long to see on the red carpet.
With a sense of luxury that ‘Couture’ evokes, this collection was an easy favorite.

With his latest presentation, Gaurav Gupta continues to experiment with the more traditional forms of saris and lehengas by giving them his design treatment. It’s hard not to recognize a garment as being Gaurav Gupta off the runway… Every look seemed marked by what we’ve come to expect from the designer. Below is your peek into the collection.

We’ll admit, over the years we’ve found ourselves warming up to Ashima Leena. And part of the reason is that in recent times, the designer duo have abandoned their over the top philosophy and shown more restraint in their collection and this one, “Rang Ratan”, was no different.
