Speaking volumes

Effortless chic and a burst of yellows and purples made Narendra Kumar8217;s Nari Nari the show that you shouldn8217;t have missed. The outfits were hair-style co-ordinated, and Fashion triplets Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut and Mugdha Godse set the runway ablaze. The show also had excellent footwear with such beautifully irreverent detailing. Sexy.

Celeb of the day

The surprise entry on Day Two was Kabir Bedi, who looked as hot as a firecracker. He was accompanied by girlfriend Parveen Dusanj and daughter Pooja Bedi. They were there to cheer little Aliya Pooja8217;s adorable daughter, who walked the ramp for Pallavi Jaipur. Chatting up with each other and posing for the shutterbugs, they looked like one big happy family.

Trend of the day

Voluminous sleeves ruled the roost on the second day. Crab and Dolman sleeves were present in Kallol Dutta8217;s unstructured line. Leg-of-mutton, batwing, bell and longish puff sleeves made a jarring presence in Drashta Sarvaiya, Arjun and Aastha Bahl line. High on style, these sleeves are well on their way to the top of the fashion poll.

Ensemble of the day

Rimzim Dadu may have called her line

8216;My Village8217;, but her collection was far from rustic. Dadu showcased an amazing mix of woven dresses, draped racer back dresses and ruffles with quilting, pleating and tonal embroidery on smocks in pink, yellow and white 8212; the colours seemed just right for the summer. What we loved the most was a pink-corded dress, an example of fine tailoring.

Goss of the day

Those who say that they love fashion more than their lives are evidently lying. Most of them chose to stay indoors, watching Raj Thakeray on their television sets instead. As far as attendance goes, Day Two wore a desultory look.
