New
Delhi,
(ANI):
Bollywood
actors
Vivek
Oberoi
and
Chitrangada
Singh
walked
the
ramp
at
a
fashion
tour
that
started
here
on
Friday.
The
fashion
tour
includes
12
designers,
who
would
showcase
their
collection
in
25
shows
in
six
different
cities.
The
collection
by
renowned
couturist
Shantanu,
Nikhil
and
Neeta
Lulla
comprised
of
outfits
in
vibrant
colours.
The
collection
was
based
on
latest
traditional
Indian
wear
and
exotic
designs
based
on
Italian
cuts.
Talking
to
media
persons,
Shantanu
said
that
handloom
fabric
was
used
for
Italian
cut
straight
fit
trousers.
"You
look
at
the
texturisation
that
had
happened,
it
is
a
handloom
brocade
fabric
that
has
the
Indian
souls
of
the
beauty
and
then
we
have
textured
it
and
layered
it.
A
brocade
with
being
fused
with
something
which
is
very
western
and
I
think
that
is
the
soul
of
Shantanu
and
Nikhil
marrying
the
West
with
the
East
and
bringing
out
the
true
exotic
fusion
and
I
think
that
is
what
we
wanted
to
do
with
Vivek," said
Shantanu.
Neeta
Lulla
said
the
collection
was
inspired
by
Indian
garments
but
was
western
based.
"I
think
the
collection
is
inspired
from
the
Kolkata
Dhaka
Motifs,
essentially
in
blacks
and
the
inspiration
of
this
collection
is
through
Indian
garments
like
Kurties,
Padgadis,
Loongis
and
Dhotis.
But
the
look
of
the
entire
collection
is
western," said
Lulla.
Actors
Vivek
Oberoi
and
Chitrangada
Singh
were
the
show
stopper
at
the
event.
Singh
said
it
was
a
challenge
to
walk
the
ramp
as
she
is
not
a
professional
model.
"Definitely,
nervous
and
excited,
at
the
same
time.
This
is
not
what
I
do
and
I
am
not
a
professional
model,
so
it
is
not
easy
every
time
you
walk
on
that
stage
and
make
that
outfit
look
great.
Though
I
don't
have
to
work
very
hard
but
I
think
it
is
beautiful
and
it's
just
lovely," said
Singh.
The
fashion
extravaganza
features
fashion
shows
exhibiting
designs
of
renowned
couturists
such

and
