Damp squib on the ramp
The finale of Lakmé Fashion Week usually involves a theatrical presentation, a known designer and Kareena Kapoor Khan. Bringing the curtains down on the fashion week last Sunday was designer Monisha Jaising. Also, Cirque du Soleil gave a short preview of what to expect from their forthcoming tour to the country.

In theory, a star like Khan, a designer known for red carpet dresses and the largest theatrical production in the world should be enough to put on a show. On the contrary, what this diarist witnessed was underwhelming. The designs appeared dated. In fact, Khan’s gown seemed to have fitting issues. But the effortless performer she is, she pulled it off with style.
