Posted On: 27 March 2019
Day 3 of the Bombay Times Fashion Week 2019 saw celebs sashaying down the ramp in gorgeous outfits. It was all about the flair and flamboyance of summer, coupled with elaborate gowns, lehengas and cocktail dresses... and yes, a plethora of confidence, too. Day 3 of the fourth edition of the Bombay Times Fashion Week 2019, at The St. Regis Mumbai, saw a spectacular mix of Indian traditional outfits undergoing a glamourous makeover. The day began with the Femina Flaunt show, followed by a show by Sonali Jain and Meraki by Rashi N. Another show that made a splash on ramp was Horra by Victor Robinson, which followed the Dheeraj Sharma show that marked Sharma’s debut at any fashion week ever. The two shows that followed were by Zarf by Masuuma Namjoshi and Soshai by Sofi. KALKI’s modern romance-themed collection ‘Zinnia’ made heads turn. The grand finale by Delhi-based designer Suneet Varma was a stunning take on bridal wear. TV host and veejay Shibani Dandekar closed the show for Varma in a stunning lehenga. Celebrity showstoppers included Malaika Arora, Sunny Leone, Nushrat Bharucha, Hina Khan, Priyank Sharma, Divyanka Tripathi, Karishma Sharma, Shreyas Talpade, Roshni Sheoran (Miss Diva 2018 - Runner-Up), Gayatri Bharadwaj (fbb Colors Femina Miss India United Continents 2018), Ruhi Singh (Miss Universal Peace & Humanity 2014). A visually impactful and dramatic collection, each creation by Dheeraj Sharma is made out of rich, luxurious fabrics combined with sharp tailoring. These pieces are exquisitely embroidered with strong Indian techniques moulded to fit perfectly into contemporary cuts. With ultra fine detailing and immaculate finishing, one can’t miss the glossy fabrics in bright yet understated hues. You will also see rich velvety textures, ornate embellishments and bold detailing in the form of piping that accentuates the patterns of the garment. There is nothing nonchalant about the clothes; each detail is deliberate and carefully placed. Right from contrasting coloured sleeves to embroidered belts to double shawl collars, elements like tassels and fringes, highly structured silhouettes and intricate bead work flow seamlessly from one piece to the other.
