Fashion’s Mughda Godse modelled a beautiful pink embroidered sari for Priya Kataria Puri on the first day of the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai. She was joined by Bipasha Basu in a cream-and-gold sari for superstar Rocky S, possibly the most excitable designer in the world. “When I showed Bipasha the colour of the sari, she was apprehensive,” he says, “But she trusts me completely. After it was draped on her, she just loved the colour. She tried a new colour today and she was looking beautiful in it.”
Bipasha was thrilled to have the opportunity to kick off the fashion week, now recognised as one of the world’s great fashion events. “Kicking off a fashion week and being the first showstopper is a great high,” she expains, “The mood is really upbeat at the fashion week. A successful show to begin with only shows that it would be a great week ahead.”
Fashionista Celine Jaitley launched the official ‘in’ colour for the fashion week, which is burgundy wine. “It is a privilege to launch the colour of the season as Lakme has always predicted the coming trend rightly,” she says, “This time, Lakme has predicted a colourful trend with the colour burgundy wine.”
