Can you imagine a fashion show where the elite, the uppity snobs and the creme de la creme of society go into a collective trance induced by mesmerising clothes? You wouldn’t have to, if you witnessed the Rohit Bal bridal couture collection. Each garment was just sheer brilliance! It was bridal couture at its best complete with drama created by many a leafless tree, loaded with oodles of fresh gajras. The choice of music was interesting too – he chose Mozart 25th Symphony, Third movement which is synonymous with Titan Watch commercials which in turn are synonymous with weddings!! Arjun Rampal walked the ramp wearing a tuxedo with a big/bold SHOW STOPPER printed across his slim fit shirt.
But, more than all the drama and glamour what made the show a success was the collection. A great mix of textures, detailed embroidery, elegant cuts and rich floral motifs made the collection stand out. Rohit Bal was the only other designer other than Manish Malhotra to showcase menswear.
The show ended with a zestful flower-fight as awestruck guests and models threw Jasmine flowers at Arjun Rampal and Rohit Bal as the designer took a bow. In fact they even broke into a little jig! I did manage to capture it all on video, but first some pictures:
