Fawad Khan and Deepika Padukone walks the ramp for Manish Malhotra at Couture Week
The showcase was held at the Taj Palace here on Wednesday, where the suave looking Pakistani star was welcomed to the ramp by loud cheers and whistles from the crowd as he walked in a black Kurta and deep maroon palazzo-pyjama and opened the grand show for the designer.
Following Fawad, models began showcasing Malhotra’s collection as they walked to the tunes of authentic Persian music. The collection saw a wide range of heavily embellished lehengas, off shoulder gowns, long jackets, Anarkalis, sherwanis and sequinned dresses which featured elaborate architectural, floral motifs and check shirts and achkans.
The colour palette moved from cream, gold, red, indigo, brown maroon, royal blue to yellow.
The designer tried to recreate the magic of Persia by replicating the traditional marble motifs, popular Persian chandeliers which added more spunk to the entire feel of the event and a small shamiana (a marquee), which helped the models exiting the ramp.
Talking about his inspiration, the designer told reporters here: “I had Persian Story’s idea in mind for so many years. I love Persian architecture, I like the colour schemes of Persia, music and that was a concept I had in my mind and that’s how it got generated…”
Deepika, who was chosen to close the show for Malhotra, stunned the audience as she looked ravishing in a beautiful off shoulder choli, with intricate gold embroidery and a long-trailed lehenga. The “Bajirao Mastani” star also wore a polki-pearl choker and a hath-phool from Hazoorilal by Sandeep Narang.
For the past week, there have been many rumors circulating that Rnaveer Singh and Deepika Padukone had gotten engaged and were planning to get married. However, fans of this adorable couple will be disappointed to know that marriage is not on the cards for the couple and that they are not engaged either.
