OOH-LA-LA: Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone - Showstoppers for Manish Malhotra (Delhi Couture Week)



GET ON THE TRAIN, BABY: Film Chennai Express actors Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone walk as showstoppers for designer Manish Malhotra at Delhi Couture Week
 
AWED: Delhi gaped with dropped jaws - this beautiful spectacle of Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone - Bollywood's reigning No.1 position actors, took to the Delhi Couture Week 2013 ramp as showstoppers for Mumbai's ace designer Manish Malhotra.
Inspired by the princely states of India in the 1930s, an era celebrating opulence, Manish's silhouettes and embroidery echoed the splendour of Indian - European architecture.
SHOES BY CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN: Interestingly, French shoe designer Christian Louboutin worked closely with Manish Malhotra for his Couture show, using existing shoe designs, which were specially fabricated to complement the collection.
F-ROW: Everyone in attendance was on their feet with applause as Deepika Padukone walked the ramp in a beautiful blue lehenga, along with Shah Rukh Khan to support Manish. The front row of the completely packed show included Sunanda Tharoor, Shashi Tharoor, JJ Valaya, Amaan & Ayaan, Rohit Shetty, Sheetal Mafatlal, amongst several others.
NIMI'S GOSSIP: A desi birdie informed that many Delhiites begged and pleaded Manish for the F-Row passes for this show, promising him great help during his Delhi store opening (9 Aug, 2013). Sunil Sethi, President, FDCI (Fashion Design Council of India) was absolutely flattered at the success of this show on the Delhi Couture Week ramp. Everything else seemed lacklustre to him.

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.

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.
