Kangana RanautThe last day of Wills India Fashion Week is always about the
finale. This season, Namrata Joshipura closed fashion week, and from the minute
the show started, you knew she was in the mood to dazzle. She lit the ramp to
mirror her embroidery pattern for the season. Sporty glam is one the strongest
trends of the season, a style that Namrata is known for. While she kept
references to sportswear, this was a very clean &amp; sharp collection. Starting
with a playsuit, the designer worked he

Pankaj &amp; NidhiIt is only natural that by day four of Wills India Fashion Week,
fashion fatigue will settle in. And with so many of the senior designers
deciding not to show this season, it has meant the schedule has been a little
weak. So while Saturday may not have fashion week’s best line up, two designers
ensured that the day was not a complete write off. Aneeth Arora’s Pero, plays
with textile in a very whimsical way. Her show attracts some real design lovers,

Abraham &amp; ThakoreTextile, embroidery, drape and weave have always been the
back-bone of Indian fashion. When it comes to craft, India has a heritage that
is truly enviable. Making this tradition modern is the challenge that most
designers are trying to overcome. Day 3 at Wills India Fashion Week brought this
aspect of Indian fashion to the forefront.

showed may have been in the industry for less than ten years but showed maturity
beyond their years. Of course the star of the day was Rahul Mishra! The recent
winner of the International Woolmark prize (following in the footsteps of Karl
Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent) showed a collection that combined craft &amp;
effortless style.

Shilpa Shetty for Tarun TahilianiDay 1 of Wills India Fashion Week was all about
commerce. Designers may be creative but most designers played it safe. Many
stuck to their signature styles or went bridal. For the fashion editors, there
may not have been much that pushed the envelope but for the buyers, there were
plenty of easy safe options to choose from.

Kalki KoechlinWhen Moët Hennessy decided to do the formal launch of their first
“Made in India” sparkling wine in the Capital, you knew it was going to be a
night of decadence. It came a few months after the Mumbai launch, but the
Capital’s chic set did not seem to mind.

Ashish Soni &amp; Anil KapoorThe last day of Wills India Fashion Week was all about
the finale show. Ashish Soni took to the ramp, and there is no question that he
has the respect and admiration of the industry. The first Indian designer to
show at New York Fashion Week, he is known for fine tailoring and a sense of
refinement. The most awaited shows of the week, here are Ashish’s hits and
misses.

emerging. Red is a favoured colour, stripes are back and there is a strong

designers have graduated from being rising stars to the arrived ones.

Masaba Gupta &amp; Alia BhattSo fashion week fever has started, as day one of Wills
India Fashion Week spring/summer opened with Anupama Dayal and Masaba Gupta 
taking to the ramp. With many senior designers staying away (Tarun Tahiliani,
Manish Malhotra, Sabyasachi and Rohit Bal are all “no-shows” for this edition of
fashion week), the focus is on the youngsters. This is the time for them to
shine. Some seem to know how to use this as an opportunity and others are trying
too hard!

Sujata Assomull Sippy, Puneet JasujaWe all know diamonds are a girl’s best
friend, but sapphires, rubies and emeralds make just as good besties. And this
is something Amrapali has known for a decade now. For ten years, this Jaipur
based jeweler has been the Indian face of jewellery to the word. Selling at
London’s Harrods and Selfridges, their baubles have been worn by Angelina Jolie, 
Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry as well as Vidya Balan, Sonam Kapoor and Madhuri
