Stars on the Delhi Couture Week runway



Bollywood actresses will walk the ramp for leading couturiers at the SynergyOne Delhi Couture Week (July 22 till 25, 2011)

In India, no one can skip noticing Bollywood stars. And with good reason: They look great, act and speak well and love to wear their fave designer's clothes (they charge for wearing them on ramp and often pick it free-of-cost for casual outings). That's also the reason why even Delhiites wait for this time of the year so they can get a sneak peek into how the actresses would look in couture designs in the capital city.

Sunil Sethi, President FDCI is hosting the entire 5 day show at the Taj Palace Hotel. "It's going to be uber grand," he promises.

STARS ON THE RUNWAY:
Actress Madhuri Dixit will come to India, take a break from doing dance shows on television and sit pretty in the Front-Row for designer Varun Bahl.
Karisma Kapur walked out the last minute. She was to walk for designer Anju Modi. That couturier's team is now looking at some big face, such as Rekha or Priyanka Chopra.
Daabangg girl Sonakshi Sinha will do the showstopping act for designer duo Shantanu and Nikhil.
Lara Dutta, Soha Ali Khan, Raveena Tandon and Dia Mirza will root for Manav Gangwani.
Zarine Khan is walking for Adarsh Gill.
Sharmila Tagore will be the showstopper for designers Ashima and Leena.
Designer Manish Malhotra show, which is eagerly awaited by Delhiites has no filmi showstoppers.

Girl with the blue scarf says: FRIENDLY GESTURE: Each of these actors charge nothing less than 10-15 lakhs to walk as a showstopper. The entire fashion show itself lasts only as long as 10-15 minutes. The ones who sit on the Front Row to cheer and pose for shutterbugs pick a cool outfit, often free-of-cost as a friendly gesture for the designer. Of course, they don't return these outfits.

The 'casting couch' is serious trouble for male models in India The Casting Couch is a reality. Not just for female models but also the males in India’s buzzing fashion industry. In a quest to make it big, acquire fame, money and a high-profile lifestyle, many male models face the rude reality of ‘talent hunts’ under the guise of ramp show auditions. While many such auditions are genuine, others are ‘indecent proposals’ or a fast dial way to make it on the ramp for big designers and then to the silver screen. Incidentally, under the scanner of late is model Sid Gupta (name changed) , assistant director in a recent Shah Rukh Khan film, who was given a shot on the ramp to open and close the KJo-Varun Bahl’s menswear show in Delhi and the India Couture Week in Mumbai.

Not just him, in the recent past model Inder Bajwa and then Lalit Trehan were rumoured to have been the boyfriends of d...

Choreographer and IPL fashion show coordinator Prasad Bidappa defends his expression of art — a calender of nude men, which leaked out in the public recently Prasad Bidappa was a hassled man recently as he prepared for the Indian Premier League 2011 show in Mumbai. Reason being: His hobby of exotic photography was costing him his reputation and ruining his sleep.
