Grand finale
The sensational collections by Kallol Datta, Pankaj - Nidhi, made the audience, at a recent hotel ballroom in Mumbai, leap up for a standing ovation to the three designers.
The show shook the very roots of the fashion world during the grand finale of the Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2012 season and celebrated the launch of the latest Lakmé Absolute Monochrome makeup line.
Pioneering beauty trends for the modern and bold Indian woman, Lakmé launched its latest style statement. Lakmé Absolute Monochrome, a collection of chic, edgy and glamorous looks styled to perfectly suit the contrasting roles of the Indian woman.
The 'Monochrome Day' and 'Monochrome Night' looks highlighted the ramp at the finale, adorned by the creations of fashion visionaries, Kallol Datta 1955 and Pankaj-Nidhi.
Sharply graphic, Monochrome is a look that reflects the colour blocking trend in fashion, and channels attention to one part of the face to maximise the impact of make-up.
Lakmé Absolute Monochrome were put together with the Lakmé Absolute range of high-performance make-up. With colour vignettes for the face, lips, eyes and nails, this range promises intense shading and a flawless finish along with a 16-hour impeccable performance. Packed with skin enhancing ingredients, this super luxurious long wear range perfectly balances beauty and science.
Kallol Datta said, "For a designer like me, doing the Lakmé Grand Finale was very intimidating. It was also a huge jump from doing regular shows to doing such a big finale for Lakmé. But I'll have to say that the Lakmé team have handheld me through most of the stages and working with them was a fantastic experience.
As for Kareena wearing my designs, she has a fabulous body and can carry off pretty much any look. But I've never seen her in something like what I would normally make. So it was an added bonus for me to see someone who is known for her style aesthetic, to wear something this different and carry it off so well."
The presentation that followed was a mind-blowing line up of garments which could only be described as the most intellectually creative creations that had not been seen for a very long time.
