CHANDIGARH, Nov 3: Ambitious, sensitive and imaginative 8212; some fresh and some outlandish. The designer creations exhibited by top models of the country at Hotel Mountview was a walk from apparels in the ancient times to the present and right up to the next millennium.
The outfits presented are collections of final-year students of the North India Institute of Fashion Technology, Mohali. The fashion show was organised on the occasion of their convocation and announced their entry into the world of fashion.
While there were impressive and wearable collections like Arti Raina8217;s quot;Paradise Againquot; 8212; a fusion of Indian and Persian style with intricate embroidery, a mystical blend of past into present. Some collections had ideas too far out like those in Mars Winter 2000, while some designers were inspired by pirates. The models who were evidently crowd8217;s favourites were Jass Arora and city girl Manpreet Brar. There was loud applause whenever the duo came on the ramp as the audience tapped to the pulsating music.
quot;Y2K and the Man 2000quot; had a forecast of man8217;s indifference to his apparel with half outfits too short and other half extra long garments. Thick spectacles on all models eyes predicted emphasis on brainwork. One round much appreciated was that of Rajesh Kumar8217;s quot;Acqua Angelsquot; where kids dressed up in bright colours modelled up and down the ramp.
The show was sponsored by Indian Acrylics, CITCO and Avery Cycle and had Chief Minister Punjab Prakash Singh Badal as the chief guest.
