Lakmé Fashion Week Summer Resort 2012 recently took place in Mumbai. The five-day extravaganza of fashion showcased works of some of the biggest designers in India, namely Purvi Doshi, James Ferreira, Gen Next, Sailex, Masaba, Shivan & Narresh and Rohit Bal amongst others. Like any major fashion show, LFW had top Indian super models, sashaying down the ramp, showcasing designs that added to the prestige and glamour of this phenomenal event. This year LFW's theme was bright and vibrant, and aimed to replace the gloomy colours of winters. Day one had all the ingredients that make the event different from others, a generous helping of Bollywood stars, seamless organisation and a touching display of humility in an industry notorious for balancing the proverbial chip on its shoulder. Vikram Phadnis' collection of Indian saris and lehngas were magnificently designed down to each intricate detail. Long gone are the heavy 'in your face' outfits with extremely heavy beading and over the top crystals. Bollywood sisters Malaika and Amrita Arora walked the ramp for him. Malaika wore a stunning black colour velvet full-sleeve blouse with embroidered ghagra while her sister Amrita wore a cream lehnga. Both looked stunning and made a statement in these elegant designs.
