Shilpa Shetty Walks For Tarun Tahiliani
At India Couture Week
|
Couture week in Mumbai is a flurry of activity filled with a cornucopia of colors, brimming with fashion experts, gurus, visionaries, aficionados and just the curious onlookers that love style, finesse and chutzpah! Some of the luminaries at the events included Bollywood actors, industrialists and socialites. The designers on the slate from A to V included Anamika (Khanna) to Verma (Suneet) and Varun Bahl (see box for complete list).
Tarun Tahiliani brought the house down with his latest collection unveiled recently at India Couture Week in Mumbai also hailed as the largest crowd puller of the event. His show was layered with the infamous Khajuraho temples and in true inimitable style he had the audience mesmerized with the mesh of technology (projectors beaming images), avant-garde fashion and raw talent only a distinguished designer could present with élan.
The Tahiliani collection could boast of hues of old, innovation of the future and viable in the present.
The tag-line, "all that we are and more..." were the words beamed amidst a backdrop of larger than life images where "life imitates art and art imitates life". Tarun's brides sashayed down the ramp swishing poise, elegance and definite volume.
According to one time editor of Femina Magazine, Sathya Saran, his was the show-topper of the India Couture Week. The line showcased heavy crystallized Swarovski dresses in multi-layers, drapes and lengths. His grandiose was evident, but not over-powering, as Tahiliani believes a bride's dream is, "Opulent, grand and majestic - and yet contemporary. The line was the perfect fusion of east-west, urban sensibilities and rural charm, day-night chic and haute couture."
For most of us that are not fashion pundits the entire collection was a cut above simply due to Tahiliani's ability to create dream sequences that are actually achievable. The show concluded with Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty sparkling in a red lehenga studded with crystals filled with zardozi work. Shilpa told the media that, "I feel like a run away bride! I just love the dress."
And she's not the only one... a platoon of Bollywood superstars are "tahilianied" including Ashwariya Rai, Rani Mukherjee, and Ayesha Takia and newcomer Deepika Padukone.
Following the astonishing kudos and acclaim received at India Couture Week Tahliani now shifts focus to his next show scheduled for October 8th in Dubai during Dubai Fashion Week. This will correspond with the launch of retail giant franchise KashMiri which will present and sell Tahiliani's signature line and one developed exclusively in the Gulf Region to his loyalists in the Middle-East.
