Click to play videoNew Delhi: Day Two of the 10th Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week saw designer Tarun Tahiliani at his opulent best and the clean cuts of Varun Bahl.
With qawali singers storming in on the runway to haunting tunes of AR Rehman, Tarun Tahiliani sent down yarns of fabric wrapped and draped around lithe feminine frames in burnished gold.
There were sarees, dresses and flowing gowns all sprinkled with what Tahiliani thinks is his very own colour – gold.
He said in his press release that this is his tribute to Christian Dior, the man legendary for re-inventing post-war European fashion by using never-seen-before amount of cloth per dress, an unheard of luxury during the war.
Everything about Tahiliani's collection had a nod to excess, from the dancer on the runway to the bejewelled broaches, belts and tiaras that have become his signature style.
We also saw hints of his trademark digital prints and rich Indian motifs. After all this is also a collection dedicated to the rise of Indian supremacy.
"The show had so much of action and fun. I really enjoyed it," fashion designer Ritu Kumar said.
From the indulgent world of Tahiliani to the simple clean cuts of Varun Bahl – earthy colours and whites dominated the colour pallette in an otherwise straight-forward collection.
There were also hints of laser cut embellishments in a fall-winter collection that was a little too simple.
