Sporting tri colour bangles as ear rings and hair accessories,
and decked in tops with the word pataka (firecracker) and atom bomb
in bold, models set the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW)
ramp ablaze as the designer duo of Fightercock - Abhishek Gupta and
Nandita Basu - showcased their collection.
"Mogambo Khush Hua" and other dialogues from Bollywood film "Mr.
India" and the classic number "Mera juta hai Japani..." played as
the background score and the ramp was lit up with multicoloured
neon lights as models walked through a doorframe.
The frame was decorated lavishly with colourful children's
clothes. There were dustpans, sieves and plastic water bottles as
if an Indian village fair had been set up on the ramp.
"Our collection has derived inspiration from India and the whole
set up symbolized the same. The background score indicated that the
present generation may sport western clothes but are true Indians
at heart," Basu told IANS.
The colour palette of the collection showcased Saturday was
dominated by white. Also there were shades of pink, blue and
golden.
Trousers, shirts, jump suit dresses, tops of varied lengths and
styles teamed with shorts and capris completed the women's wear
line. While the men's wear comprised of trousers, shirts, body
hugging T-shirts and jackets.
The cuts were, however, not as adventurous as the motifs. For
instance, there was a dress with scooters printed all over while
t-shirts had imprints of freedom fighters like Subhas Chandra Bose
and Bhagat Singh, maps of countries and bathroom slippers.
The collection was full of shimmer and funk aptly accessorised with
plain white physical training shoes and bright coloured stilettos.
Iggy, a model who displayed the collection on ramp, said: "The
collection is very funky and wearable".
The likes of beauty expert Shahnaz Hussain, Ritu Kumar, Sunil Sethi
attended the show.
