Slow death

The last day of Lakme Fashion week draws to a never-ending close

Show of the day
On a day when bad designs reigned supreme, Anuj Sharma emerged a winner with his Knot for You collection. The collection revolved around strategically placed knots that bound, shaped, draped and constructed his carefully tailored outfits. Effortlessly chic, he only made use of crepe and georgette selecting just three muted colours: brown, nude and grey. For a Grecian effect, the designer knotted the fabric to create versions of flowers or a butterfly-like effect and held the garments at the shoulders with the help of slim black ribbons.

Ensemble of the day
ANEETH and Chinar of Gaba created some rustic magic with their khadi and handloom line. What we loved the most was a pair of loose pedal pushers in white teamed with a two-layered smock flowing green tunic with a white embroidered gamcha thrown around the bag. Nice.

Celeb of the day
WHEN your collection isn8217;t doing the talking for you, bring on Shiamak Davar to shake his hips. An absolutely atrocious collection by Vikram Phadnis was overshadowed by a brilliant performance by Shiamak. After all, what are good friends for?

Goss of the day
SHOWSTOPPERS have become a joke lately. To begin with, Achla Sachdev was the 8216;show starter8217; for Babita M. We could have digested that. But then came the icing on the cake 8212;a limping Chhaya Momaya sauntering down the ramp for Lina Tipnis. The photographers roared in protest.

Trend of the day
IF you want to get your wardrobe ready for summer, make sure you have lots of prints. Agnimitra Paul showcased saris with floral and leaf prints, while Babita Malkani8217;s abstract prints were seen on gowns and knee length dresses. Lina Tipnis too showcased a few outfits that had a hint of geometrical prints on them.
