Definitely a classic and style-personified affair as celebs took to the ramp to showcase the talent of top line designers from India and Macau in the Fashion Extavaganza.
The event was hosted by Sophie Chaudhary and Zayed Khan who did their scripted best to keep the tempo high through the show. The show commenced with the Videocon sponsored mobile phone company unleashing their upcoming, top-of-the-line two models of cell phones that were personally signed by Amitabh Bachchan and Anil Kapoor with the purpose of being auctioned for collecting money, the proceeds of which are forwarded to the less fortunate workers in the film making line who have faced mishaps in the due process.
Sonam Kapoor looked sylphlike in the splendid flowing skirt and embroided top designed by Anamika Khanna. Diya Mirza blazed the ramp in a traditional white lehenga by Manav Gangwani, while Bipasha stole the show in a splendid subtle shade traditional outfit designed by Rocky S. Neil Nitin Mukesh in a black suit and Mughda Godse in an electric blue single shoulder gown were the show-stoppers for Siyaram later on joined by Madhur Bhadarkar who is the director of their upcoming movie ‘Jail’.
Neha Dhupia shone in a gold-green gown that was quite tastefully done and also showcased fine jewellery from D’damas. Raima Sen was seen wearing the D’damas brand. Amrita Rao was seen wearing a pretty off-shoulder black dress and delicate jewelery escorted by none other Arshad Warsi.
An amazing sight and finale was that of the fab-pair of Hrithik-Susanne that scorched the ramp elegantly carrying off pristine, feminine jewelery of Farah Ali Khan.
Manav Gangwani creations were aptly showcased by the hunk-duo of Madhavan and Dino Morea who was wearing a white suit. The Hong Kong designer Chris Chang effectively displayed her creations based on children.
Also called on the stage was the cast of ‘Do Knot Disturb’ with the likes of Govinda, Sushmita Sen and Vashu Bhagnani, David Dhavan. Definitely a show held par excellence with a laudable cause to back it up.
