Saiyami Kher debuts on the ramp for Gaurav Gupta’s ‘scape song’ at ICW 2016?
New Delhi, July 24 (IANS) Actress Saiyami Kher, who will soon be seen in filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s film “Mirzya”, made her debut on the ramp for ace designer Gaurav Gupta’s collection titled ‘scape song’ on the penultimate day of the FDCI India Couture Week 2016 on Saturday.
With her curly hair brushed to one side, Saiyami had donned a pastel blue and silver ensemble with ruffles with glittered eye make-up.
Although the heels of her platform sandals gave away on the ramp, the actress walked with confidence and held herself with élan.
Talking about her experience as a debutante on the ramp Saiyami told media here: “This is very special to me as this was my first time on the ramp although I have modelled before but they were mostly stills. It was lovely and I cannot wait to be back on the ramp.”
Exploring unusual silhouettes mixed with a lot of drapes and intelligent construction, the multi-layered high waist skirts, classic silhouettes with a modern twist, made the collection standout.
The collection showcased by Gupta was an amalgamation of different layers, ruffles and vintage colours like grey, English blue, greens, browns, pastel hues of blue, white and powder pink.
“The collection gives out a global message that India is very much a part of the globe and is the leading global country. Its a statement collection of contemporary, almost futuristic new Indian wear. All of us are well travelled global citizens, but at the same time we enjoy the Indian-ness,” Gupta told IANS.
Gupta had also given the models elongated eye lash look inspired by birds as the whole theme of the collection was like an ode to nature.
The ramp was different and made of Plaster of Paris in an irregular shape with lines all over while the music played was an instrumental version of British singer Adele’s hit song “Rolling in the deep” among other compositions.
Ace designers Manav Gangwani and Rohit Bal will be showcasing their latest collection on the last day of the five day event on Sunday.
