With superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone on the ramp, stunning old world setting and 1930's inspired wedding collection, Bollywood's favourite designer Manish Malhotra brought the curtain down at the PCJ Delhi Couture.
While model-turned-actress Deepika looked stunning in a navy blue velvet zardozi lehenga teamed with full puffed sleeved choli, her 'Chennai Express' co-star SRK kept it simple in a black suit.
For the first time in any fashion show in India, people were seated on the ramp.
There were tables, chairs, ornate couches on the runway where VIP guests sat and enjoyed the show.
Rajinigandha flowers adorned large vases and the table tops were sprinkled with jasmine flowers, adding to the old world ambience.
"My idea was to make the stage resemble a very old world town hall. Very 1930's. I think this is how a couture show in the 1930's would have been like. It was very personal and that is how I wanted it to be like," Manish told reporters after the show.
Deepika, who made her modelling debut in Delhi many years back, could not hide her excitement about walking down the ramp in this very different set up created by Manish.
"I felt like I was in a fashion show in Milan. Manish's show was of international standard. I have never seen such a sophisticated setting ever in the Indian fashion scenario till date. The atmosphere was so electrifying. I really loved the ambience that he created today," Deepika said.
