Aditya Roy Kapoor walks for Debarun at LIFW 2011 Day 3

ROMANCE AND STYLE CAME ALIVE ON THE CATWALK WITH THE OPULENT AND CHASTE COLLECTION BY DEBARUN . March 3, 2011, Mumbai: When love and undying romance inspire fashion, the collection is an ode to creativity. Debarun’s Summer/Resort 2011 collection at Lakmé Fashion Week inspired by Opulent and Chaste was a love story created around the simple cotton kora fabric in natural ecru tones.

Adding twinkling gold appliqués to reflect the theme, Debarun added floral motifs which were sprinkled over the elegant, timeless, simple silhouettes. Working strictly around Indian forms, there were kurtas teamed with pleated drawstring pants interspersed with saris as well as some colourful Can-Cans and ‘A’ line lehengas for women.

Some of the striking creations were the long A line ghagra with pleated blouse, the flared mid length skirt with a fitted waist length blouse and pleated pants, the divine appliquéd sari with sleeveless blouse and the dazzling long mermaid tail lehenga with a short blouse.

Men’s wear was stylish with long slim kurtas worn with pre-stitched dhotis, sleeveless jackets and trousers with interesting side box pleats. Keeping the silhouette fitted, there were long kurtas with linen pants, sleeveless side buttoned jackets with pleated trousers and long jackets teamed with kurtas sporting side detailing.

The show stopper was the very dashing star of Guzaarish and Action Replay, Bollywood’s new wonder boy Aditya Roy Kapoor in an appliquéd jacket with gold shirt and narrow pants.

Ecru and gold worked beautifully for the ethnic creations that will make great Summer/Resort 2011 wear from Debarun.
