golden girls

From molten gold satin gowns for the evening to honey yellow outfits for the day8230; gold seems to be a favourite with everyone this season. Valentino8217;s luxurious fabrics in gold, Donatella Versace8217;s gold plate bustier to Giorgio Armani8217;s Maharaja inspired collection in gleaming tones of gold, were seen on the international ramp. Back home, gold has been a perennial favourite in wedding wear, but now it8217;s also hot in evening wear. Manav Gangwani, Rajesh Pratap and Varun Bahl have used it in their spring line for 2007.

However, it is a colour many people can go wrong with if not coordinated well. 8220;Gold is a very classy and elegant colour. It looks best when used subtly. This season it can be seen in many different shades,8221; says designer Nainika Karan. Besides, minimal or no jewellery works best.
