Lakme Fashion Week Grand Finale : Namrata Joshipura

Finally, I'm done with my reviews about the designers I liked and come to the grand finale show review! My last day at LFW was one of the most tiring days I'd had recently. We were on our feet almost the entire day and I was happy by the evening when the time to go to the pre-show cocktail party arrived. A quick early dinner was followed by a very tired me going to the party followed by the excitement of the show.

The theme for the show was Pop tints, a promotion of Lakme's new pop tinted colors range and designer Namrata Joshipura did not disappoint! The entire runway was converted to a very futuristic and neon favoring room that reminded me strongly of Star Trek, the fashionista way! The head adornments and eyegear simply reminded me of Start Trek's Klingnons and Geordi La Forge! (Yes, I know that's a little geeky but I can't help it! )

Here are my favorite outfits from the Grand finale!

The lovely effect of the skirt puts this one on my list!

A jumpsuit that jumps!! I love the self beading on this one!!

Sometimes, you just need a strong color to make a statement

I love the way those trousers moved on the runway!

That skirt with a lining would be a great statement piece in my opinion

A jumpsuit for the girl who likes to wear roses!

A simply dress with oomph? Indeed!

See what I mean about the eyewear?

Shiny silver dress! Oh, and notice the spikes on the head!

I love the simple design of the dress. Although I'm unsure how practical the side beading is..

Bollywood actress and Lakme brand ambassador Kareena Kapoor walking the ramp!

The current trend of neon obsession that I've seen everywhere in India in recent times was quite well represented here. Also, I had lots of fun both before and after the show. I especially liked some of the models who weren't walking the ramp cheering on their friends from the seats near mine!

Oh, and here's a picture taken by the paparazzi of me at the pre-show party.

I look quite horrid and sad for some reason. I think its probably because I was dead tired by that time! Oh, the things you do for fashion! ;)

Do you like the neon trend? Have you invested in any neon pieces recently? Tell me about them in the comments or share your pictures with me on twitter.

Lakme Fashion Week Day 5: Save Our Tigers!!

Lakme Fashion week hosted an event called Save Our Tigers wherein there were 41 designers who designed outfits on this theme and were judged by their peers. There were also paintings that were for sale, proceeds of which would go to the Save our Tigers cause. This was one of the most enjoyable shows I've been to and it was amazing to see so many designers come together for a truly worthy cause. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and while some designs were works of art, some were quite out there, and a little disturbing for my tastes.

Here are my favorites from the runway:

A saree to show your dedication to the cause in the saree by Satya Paul.

This dress talks about how man and his concrete is the real enemy. Strong message if you ask me..

This is such a nice theme based dress...it was also one of the winners

I loved this dress with its little paw prints and flowy structure.

While it isn't completely true to the theme for me, I do like the lovely pop of yellow.

Wear your love for tigers to the beach in this little piece by Shivan and Narresh. Read about their collection here.

Yet another winning entry, this dress is something that all those animal lovers would love to wear!

And of course the men can't be far behind, an animalistic look for the men (also one of the winners)

The jury with the winning designs. Also, actress Neha Dhupia in a Drvv dress. Read my review of Drvv's collection here.

So who were the winning designers?

Well, they were Arjun Khanna, Sougat Paul and Vaishali S. Read about my review of Vaishali S's collection here.

Tigers are our national animal. We're still neglecting them,so much so that they've almost become an extinct species! This is just plain wrong, and I commend the efforts taken here to promote awareness about this. What do you think about this issue?
