Delhi’s Daredevil

Gentlemen with six packs lounging around in silk boxers and in peek-a-boo dressing gowns that could make you blush. Designer Rohit Bal’s autumn-winter collection,aptly titled Badmaash was like all his shows,full of histrionics and plenty of innuendo. Six sultry hunks lolled around on high back chairs placed on the ramp with Elvis Presley’s Are you lonesome tonight playing in the background. They strode out in quilted jackets,slim fit shirts with floral embellishments and kalamkari prints. But it was the mood of mischief that had the crowd cheering and squealing for Bal. The boys squatted on the lounge chaises,peered at the crowd,self-assured with slightly leery grins,even as Bal’s nephew former model Aditya cheered them on. When the show ended an energetic Bal danced and tottered on the ramp to Dhan te naan and called on to the models to follow suit. The showman in his element.
