India Unlimited was the tagline for the day at the Rocky S show this season. Fall, with its beautiful weddings, its unlimited extravagance and its undying love for gold, makes its way into Rocky Ss collection.
It was in fact, a beautiful wedding trousseau range created under the name of Vilasa by Rocky S, and we advise, every brides fashion handbook. The collection showcased sarees and lehengas for women and Sherwanis and kurtas for men and talk about keeping it exquisite and special. The showcase was subtle yet alluring, intricate as well as enduring with delicate feminine colours, restrained embroidery and bold embellishments.
The lehengas came in beige and ombre shades paired with brocade blouses while flaunting delicate zardosi work on the sheer net dupattas. The jewellery was traditional with maang tikkas that were heavy, statement necklaces that were overbearing and jhumkis that were heaving to every beat. Our favourite outfit was the gold sequined lehenga worn with a brocade blouse a combination thats unique and unconventional. Chiffon, silk and georgette were the choice of fabrics used but they were innovatively paired with gold zari, velvet trimmings and beaded embroidery to create an exquisite ideal. The off-beat colour blouses like royal blue, sea green and earthy brown added the drama to the look, otherwise created subtly with beige and ivory, and an occasional gold. The self-embroidered white sari and lehenga worn with bright red blouses were reminiscent of south-indian Christian weddings glamorous and low-key and lets just say, the bride wore white! The white jackets and kurtas for men were also self-embroidered, occasionally bound together by jute and chanderi dupattas.
The white sequin sari paired with a red blouse and gold chain embellished arms was a spectacle and deserves applause. The showstoppers for the evening were the gorgeous Bipasha Basu in a zardosi-and-sequin encrusted lehenga in red and blue and the handsome R. Madhavan walking the ramp in a white and gold sherwani with a bright red dupatta.
