Mumbai: Manav Gangvani ruled the day. With Bollywood actors Zayed Khan and Shruti Hassan dazzling on the ramp in the exquisite ensemble by the talented designer, the show was just a series of transitions from one perfect silhouette to another.
His work was titled ‘'A Tempestuous Affaire’. The outfits had silhouettes ranging from well-draped traditional Anarkali suits and innovative churidar and kurtas.

Female models sashayed the ramp in unusual traditional drapes paired with statement blouses.

The designer used fabrics like velvets, satins, delicate nets, georgettes and antique laces, along with glistening lame and brocades. The colour palette had black, gold and emerald tones.

The designer elaborated about his show, saying, “The collection is called ’A Tempestuous Affaire’ and is inspired from a piece of emerald. The gold shows how the cutting of emerald is done. It comes and glows into a beautiful emeralds so that is how it is.”

Zayed Khan, the show stopper, said, “I feel this is a nice structured fusion look between a sherwani and a sort of a suit in some sort of manner. I like the whole churidar and the pants. Manav has really outdone himself and we always happy to be here for him.”

With Swarovski elements lightening up the event, both the designers Manav and Suneet Varma showcased their collection with new expressions of crystal creativity in every segment of their creations.
