Who: Manav Gangwani
Is: Someone who's fairly new to fashion weeks but is known to draw in some of the biggest names in Bollywood on ramp and front row
The bling quotient that was missing on the last two days made an appearance at Manav Gangwani's show titled, A Tempestuous Affaire.
Singer and actor Shruti Hassan was so-not right to carry off the showstopper garment; a bustier studded with diamonds and emeralds over a velvet balloon lahenga that bunched up at her ankles, forcing her to walk in baby steps.
The show was a definite pleaser for the obscenely loaded.
An elaborately constructed runway and an Origami-inspired set with the skeleton of giant gold photo frames making for a centre piece, stood testimony to designs crafted in luxurious fabrics, laden with Swarovski and precious stones.
We liked the seductive drenched-in-jewel cholis, and Swarovski-sprinkled collars over sherwanis. We bet real estate scion Ashish Raheja is getting one of those.
