Though the second edition of the three-day CFW rolled out fashionably late,the fashionistas patiently waited to check out the clothes. As many as 22 designers,including well-known names like Nida Mahmood,Anju Modi,Jatinn Kochhar and Rina Dhaka are scheduled to participate. The Chandigarh Fashion Council has done away with morning shows,and will have as many as eight back-to-back shows across the day. “My collection titled Royal Indian Wedding has been inspired by the palaces in Bijawar in Gujarat. The Maharani of Bijawar has been my client for years but this was the first time that I got to see her palace and heirloom jewellery,” explained Gangji about his collection.

Gangji’s opulence was followed by Mumbai-based designer James Ferreira’s subtle collection that he’s put together specifically for Punjab. This translated into free-flowing Indo-western garments including sarees. “I have always done Western garments and it’s a debut for me in Indian wear,” said Ferreira,who chose not to have any celebrity on the ramp. Wise decision,as the clothes did all the talking. Highlighting intricate Parsi embroidery,his collection packed a punch with the colour palette — ebony white to mustard to fuschia. “The Indian skin tone is perfect for such colours,” pointed out the designer who was eager to step outside of Mumbai with his work. Also showcasing his collection was Satya Paul with “The Art of Tarot” that boasted mysticism and magic. Between Indian weddings and Indian mysticism,the buyer definitely is spoilt for choice.
