B'wood hotties fire up Fashion Week

New Delhi: The Bollywood bandwagon added glamour and glitz to the second day of the ongoing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WLIFW) on Thursday.

Actors Riya Sen, Sameera Reddy and former model turned actor Arjun Rampal were in the capital to be a part of the WLIFW.

Reddy, who will be previewing the Manish Malhotra collection for the grand finale of the Spring-Summer event, gave ample opportunity for the shutterbugs on Thursday evening.

Actor Riya Sen arrived in Delhi on Thursday afternoon to attend a seminar on hair care and hair styling trends on Friday.

"The presence of both the stars are sure to give a boost to the fashion event," an official of the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), the apex body of the fashion industry that organises the event said.

Meanwhile, Arjun Rampal surprised the audience at the Rohit Bal show by making a cameo appearance on Thursday night.

Designers Jatin Varma and Araiya gave a fun-filled twist to the fashion week presenting contrasting collections on Thursday morning, a day after the event opened with the scintillating creations of Manish Arora, Rohit Gandhi-Rahul Khanna, Jattinn Kochhar and Rohit Bal.

Varma's theme for the show was 'Trip to Spain' for which models like Deepika Padukone, Laxmi Menon and Tapur Chatterjee showcased white and frilled garments in chiffon.

"It is a funloving collection meant for chilling out," Varma said after the 20-minute ramp walk that was inspired by Spanish architecture.

In breezy hues of plum, lily green and sky blue, Araiya's collection was on the theme 'White versus Whisky'.

Designers Gauri and Nainika, Ayesha Depala, Manav Gangwani, Falguni and Shane Peacock are among those who presented their collections on Thursday.

WLIFW has gone on the international format for the first time since it began seven years ago.
