Avant-Garde fashion met goth chic at Zoya,Bandra,yesterday,which hosted the launch of Anaikka,the accessories label by designer Kanika Saluja (fresh from New York after designing for the likes of Mischa Barton,Rihanna and Paris Hilton) and the resort wear line of Masaba Gupta. While Guptas silhouettes were flowing and the colours riotous,Salujas brass body pieces were sculpted with harsh,asymmetrical cuts and seemed straight off the backs of Greek warriors. Neena Gupta came to cheer daughter Masaba who shimmered in a toga dress. Jyoti Gwalani,Azmina Rahimtoola and Aparna Badlani were seen scuttling around the store playing the warm hostesses while many of fashions movers and shakers including Rocky S and Nishka Lulla cast a discriminating eye over the collections. Others trying on the designers creations included Tisca Chopra,Meenal Kapoor,Vikram Raizada,Shraddha Nigam and Krishika Lulla.

Showstopper Take a look at Saluja,in goth makeup,a black tunic and suede boots,and its easy to envision the kind of woman her accessories are designed for.
