They are people who are just new to fashion and fashion shows. So I think you guys might not be knowing much about all this.Here is a little information.

DAY 5- MANAV GANGWANI & SABYASACHI


Now a review on both the shows of DAY 1:

JJ VALAYA-

When I hear the name JJ VALAYA, all that comes to my mind is royalty! And obviously he did not leave his signature style (royalty) in this collection. His collection was dominated by embroideries & motifs. His collection was called 'AZRAK'. Its a turkish term and means 'rare & uncommon'. If you think he went with the title, he din't. His collection was great and beautiful and royal and what not. But it was no rare and uncommon. It was typical JJ VALAYA. The rich embroideries and heavy work was all there as usual. 
Any bride would love wearing his collection (only if they had this kind of money).

What I feel after seeing the collection was if brides like really heavy work and royalty,go for it.

This collection shows that rich fabrics are a must for wedding. Brides to be chose any lehenga or saree or suit with velvet fabric and work and sherwani for men with nice jardozi work.
Colour palette was no different. The same old gold,red,maroon,black.


2. VARUL BAHL-

Frankly, I did not expect a lot from VARUN BAHL. But this guy surprised me. His collection was not the cliched Indian wear. The collection showed Indian garments with modernism. Where all the designers used rich and heavy fabrics, Mr. Bahl went the sheer way. I would not suggest any bride to wear it on their wedding day. Cos I feel its a little too light for a wedding. But for other functions, I think nothing better than wearing this collection! The blues, blacks, pastels, reds, i loved all the colours and the use of net and subtle embroideries.

Brides can wear the collection for every function except the wedding. The people who are attending weddings should definitely go for it. If I had to attend my brother's or sister's wedding(& also if I had that kind of money), I would go in for Varun Bahl.

To sum it up, It was 'elegance personified'!
