Yes, it has finally happened! Fashion has found its way into India’s favorite sport.

Manish Arora and Shantanu-Nikhil were asked to design the outfits for the the eight leagues of the Indian Cricket League(ICL). While Manish designed for six teams — Chennai Superstars, Kolkata Tigers, Delhi Giants, Mumbai Champs, Hyderabad Heroes and Chandigarh Lions, Shantanu and Nikhil designed for two, Ahmedabad Rockets and Lahore Badhshahs.

Manish previewed his designs a few months ago, but Shantanu and Nikhil just recently revealed their designs.

While we love Manish to the core, I think the Chennai Superstars probably had a tad bit of a hard time slipping into theirs. They got the pink one, you see! 😉

Day 1: Shantanu And Nikhil

It doesn’t happen that often but when it does, it happens with a blow! Am in love. Every outfit, every accessory, every ribbon, every detailing! Shantanu and Nikhil’s collection was absolutely on the money! Their collection was called, ‘Banaras Boulevard’ but for me it just seemed like an updated version of Retro French Riviera! Buttery yellows, warm yellows, sunny yellows and pale yellows dominated the collection, now and then, offset by white perhaps!

The dresses were très chic and fabulous! For the champagne-brunching set, this collection will soon find its way into their wardrobes in a heartbeat! And those tops.. brilliant. Never overboard, just enough craftsmanship to make it stand out and just enough understated detailing to give it, its chic-appeal! And that puffed, bubble hem dress with the jacket? Priceless.

Loved the way the models were styled; make-up, hair, shoes, white-rimmed shades and oversized bags were spot on!

I tried really hard to find one thing to dislike. But couldn’t. The collection was young, chic, tasteful, fresh and perfect!

Fashion Bliss.
