Myntra Fashion Weekend

Day 1 of the first Myntra Fashion Weekend, which is being held at Palladium Hotel in Mumbai, ended on a highly confident and sexy note as designers, especially the last two, amped up the show. Mumbai-based designer Pria Kataaria Puri, who is famous for her kaftans and sexy resort wear, brought to the ramp a vibrant, abstract and energetic collection.

Her show started off in vivid orange-toned ensembles worn by five bloggers-Malini Agarwal aka MissMalini, Rhea Gupte, Aanam Chasmawala, Scherezade Shroff and Karishma Rajani. Carrying on the show, models sauntered down cheerfully. This amiable presentation was a pleasant break from the usual frigid style, and kept the audience smiling as well. The boho luxe collection included jersey dresses, kaftans, oneshoulder shirts, crop tops and midi skirts in colourful carpet prints.

Delhi-boy Raakesh Agarvwal, meanwhile, brought back his 'Seduce Not Control' collection to the runway for A/W 2014, which he showcased earlier this year in the Capital. Bondage, leather and bling were the keywords at the show that added a high-octane punch of glamour in black, gold and nude. Special hair nets and smeared red lipstick styled by Adhuna Akhtar and her B:BLUNT team added an interesting feel to the models' look. Despite the comparatively low turnout owing to Dussehra celebrations, the show was high on energy.

The second day began on a highly quirky note, with celebrity stylist Ami Patel curating a playful, American vintage collection comprising two trends-indigo and clashing prints. Cigarette pants, front-tied shirts, wrap around dresses and shift dresses for women; and striped T-shirts, checked collar shirts and sweatshirts for men made the show.

Actress Kalki Koechlin walked the ramp as a pretty pin-up girl in a halter neck, cream-coloured swing dress with lace border. A big orange bow over a faux bob, strappy floral heels and a big purple envelope bag added charm to Kalki's look. Adding to the cute look, the good sport did a small jig on stage with funny man Cyrus Broacha who got all the laughs for sporting a fake moustache and flowers in his hair while dressed in a superhero tee and a lungi casually wrapped around his jeans paired with red sneakers.

Kalki even teased Broacha by trying to pull his lungi off, leaving the audience in a spirited mood. Meanwhile, Bringing work essentials to the afternoon, AND by Anita Dongre presented chic pencil dresses, trousers and shirts with interesting cuts and collars primarily in black, grey and white.
