Bollywood glamour at ICW 2009
Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Saif Ali Khan, Aamir Khan, Govinda, Katrina Kaif and Ajay Devgan walked the ramp for Salman Khan's Being Human show on October 13, 2009 for India Couture Week.
Filmmaker Karan Johar also made his fashion debut at the event. Karan Johar who gave numerous hits like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham teamed up with designer Varun Bahl to showcase men's couture range on the last day of the event.
The couture week which is an initiative of the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), annually stages two editions of the hugely successful Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) in New Delhi.
Other designers who participated in this event were Monisha Jaising, Pallavi Jaikishan, Varun Bahl, Manish Malhotra, Manav Gangavani and Suneet Varma.
Unlike WIFW, the couture week is not a business-driven event but more a celebration of the Indian cultural heritage in a grand manner. Hence emphasis is given more to ramp decoration and creating a grand ambience to give an extravagant touch to the event.
FDCI president Sunil Sethi said, "Couture is all about extravagance and this gives an opportunity to the designers to add to their creativity by lending more drama and grandeur to the ramp."
