It was therefore, unsurprising that Abhishek Gupta and Nandita Basu who have been showcasing their spring-summer collection 2010, the designs were bold. With T's in oranges and browns, the message was clear - let's rebel. The floral jackets appeared to be a bit too bold a move for the designers. Despite Indian men keeping pace with the fashion, it might take some time for any macho man to become caught wearing one.
As opposed to Abhishek Gupta and Nandita Basu were Manoviraj Khosla's designs. Since he primarily deals with men's clothes, his designs were more formal. Nehru jackets, formal suits, T-shirts, waist coats formed a significant part of his collection. The jackets using their straight cuts were both chic and elegant. Khosla also used variants of green, lilac, orange and blue, adding colour towards the otherwise blacks and grays. Why is Khosla's designs special is that they are certainly wearable.
The showstopper for his collection was Anil Kumble. The man sure knows how to wow those around him - whether in the game or off the field. Wearing a black formal suit, Kumble walked the ramp like a pro. Walking on the ramp amidst clapping, Kumble exuded elegance and a carefree, spirited self-confidence of style and manner. Though individuals are accustomed to seeing Bollywood stars walk the ramp for designers, Dino Morea's appearance sure created what was intended. Wearing a monochrome formal suit, Morea took everyone with surprise. A few of the other designers who had showcased their work earlier (on first day) were Rajvi Mohan, Himmat Singh and Aslam Khan.
