Stunning in a black gown with a transparent back, former beauty queen Sushmita Sen was the celebrity model at Amit Aggarwal’s Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2014 show. The collections began on Tuesday with shows by Aggarwal and Masaba Gupta.
“I feel sexy wearing this and that’s what Amit’s collection is all about. When I first saw his collections, I asked him ‘which is the show-stopper outfit?’ as each and every outfit looks like a show-stopper outfit. I am so proud that we have such designers,” said Sen.
The soul of Aggarwal’s collection lay in incorporating tribal influences such as weaving techniques, striped tattoos and structured jewellery, and putting menswear details on couture-style gowns.
“I think this idea started with the concept of women who lived life on their own terms and that is when I thought about Sushmita Sen. The collections are contemporary traditional in a modern way,” said Aggarwal.
Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2014 runs until August 24.
