Early in 2010 Chandigarh created history as it hosted its first fashion week, the Chandigarh Fashion Week 2010. The platform gave an opportunity to many designers, both established as well as upcoming, to showcase their talents. The Fashion Week began with the ace designer brand Libas paying rich tribute to rich Bollywood tradition of designs and craftsmanship, while it concluded with a Ritu Kumar show.
Libas, Ritu Kumar, Pallavi and Bharavi Jaikishan, Satya Paul, Charu Parashar, Monika Chaudhary and many more exhibited their designs at a three-day fashion extravaganza held from January 29 – 31 at Hotel Taj, Chandigarh. Udita Goswami (actress), Shahwar Ali (model), Shibani Kashyap (singer), Simran Kaur Mundi and Shriya Kishore were among the few showstoppers, who were a part of the event.
This event was a fashion celebration laced with lots of glamour with national as well as international media coverage, where many high profile designers as well as famous Bollywood celebrities were also part. Libas brought to Chandigarh glamour and style with actor Udita Goswami and Shahwar Ali walking the ramp.
On Day 1, Libas had the Bollywood theme to its line of clothing. In other show Libas exhibited its contemporary and Indo-western men’s and woman’s line. The bridal lehengas, sarees, chaniya cholis, salwar suits etc took the breath away. The brand had recently had their -Veer’ collection unveiled by actress Zarine Khan. This collection was the culmination of the efforts of the designer duo Riyaz and Reshma Gangji over the past months.
Shriya Kishore as Miss India Earth 2009 was the showstopper for Monika Chaudhary, while Simran Kaur Mundi walked for Satya Paul and Shibani Kashyap in Charu Prashar dress. The first edition had the crowds asking for more. Look forward to the next edition of Chandigarh Fashion Week.
