Calcutta designer duo Dev R Nil started their show with a twist. Their models walked in from the other side of the ramp, with war music playing in the background. Che Guevara and his motorcycle was what they focussed on. There were jumpsuits, jackets, shirt dresses and more. Gayatri Khanna showed off sequinned dresses. There were toga dresses, jackets and trousers in muted tones like beige which were jazzed up with sequins.

When Nida Mahmood took her bow at the end of her show, the lady knew she had taken the audience for a joyride they thoroughly relished. Taking us back to the good old pre-satellite television era the show started with N.C.E.R.T and Film Division of India's celebrated Ek Anek (ek chidiya anek chidiya) song. When the proverbial Bollywood question was raised, 'Mere pass atom bomb hai, anaar hai, chakri hai tere pass kya hai?' Nida's answer was , "Mere pass Ma-chis hai." 'Machis' inspired by Indian street art was all about tunics with shorts, jumpsuits, asymmetric tops with special focus on the hip areau00a0-- be it the dresses or pants. Now this is one lady who is giving "shooting from the hip' idiom a new meaning. Stirred by the film 21 Burns, Jai Gupta's '21 Burns' depicted the 'fragility of human soul' through textile. Hand woven, ring spun cotton and silk dominated the collection. The colour palatte varied from ice blues, whites pale greens to reflective steels. Avial's electro, rock and folk fusion opened Varun Sardana's show complementing the youthful spirit which was the theme. Concentrating on a neutral palate Varun mainly stuck to whites, ivory and beige.u00a0
