The day 4 at backstage of Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Spring Summer 2011 mellowed with fashion. The effervescence remained high with buzzing models and maddening hotchpotch. Dramatic slip ups and slip offs made way and kept the ambience all fizzy. Pose and pout commenced and ensued every show backstage. Ironically the ever silent and passive models on ramp kept the green room helluva chaotic with guffaws, capers, natters, kisses and cigarettes. Amidst all this chaos we caught out Ambika Pillai with M.A.C effect and model Nolana D’Mello chilling out besides others.

The countdown to Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Fall 2010 rushed the enthusiasm and excitement at full pelt. Fittings saw the designers and their craftsmen scanning and vying for the nicety. Whereas, models were all engaged in donning, un-donning and re-donning the yet-to-be-revealed apparels. Besides some serious work, the glitterati were in their obvious shutterbug moods – posing for the flashing shutters. Likes of Atul Kasbekar and Sujal Shah were seen all geared up for the event.

The hurly-burly backstage was no different during Day 2, packed with hurrying models and darting make up men. Ambika Pillai and her team with brushes, sprays and combs were busy to turn models in the requisite roles. In the meanwhile the health conscious men always found time out to do their crunches or push-ups instead of worrying about the wines like the female models. We caught in the models like Sahil Shroff, Karan Singh, Niel Katiyan, Lalit and Amit getting the make up done and staring into mirror. The glam light studded as Kunal Kapoor appeared backstage to get a few strokes here and there just before he had to walk for designer Manoviraj Khosla.

Here is the visual gallery of The Making of Sensawunda 2 described by Ritesh Kumar Ridzyn as the sense of wonder, extends his theme for the fall winter 2010/11. Frequently invoked in discussions of science fiction, the “sense of wonder” is an experience unique to the genre. It is an emotional reaction to the reader suddenly confronting, understanding, or seeing a concept anew in the context of new information. And thus we catch him in his sci-fi photo shoot as he nods and style directs the model in his creations which is also a prelude to his fashion showing at the upcoming edition of WIFW Autumn/Winter 2010/11.

The model auditions for the upcoming Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2011 witnessed glamour kissing the acme. Glowering eyes and pouting lips let the fashion retain its sexuality and sensuality. . The faces from around the country were seen giving their leg and arm to be the next Lakme catwalk candy. Flashing cameras, hurrying crew teams and jittered models gave shots of endorphin.

Its time now for fashion extravaganza with the one of its kind fashion week solely dedicated to Wedding Wear, Aamby Valley India Bridal Week (AVIBW) showcasing wedding wear from the most coveted designers starting from 29th October to 2nd November, 2010 is to be held at the Sahara Star, Mumbai.

The fittings begins with Rocky S, Manish Arora and Neeta Lulla giving the final touches to the wedding trousseaus and running the test fits on models like Laxmi Rana, Candice Pinto, Deepti Gujral, Shruti Agrawal, Kavita Kharayat, Alesia Raut, Anchal Kumar and Shamita Singha, to name a few.

Preceding the picture perfect shows, the backstage at day 1 of Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Spring Summer 2011 kept fizzing with oodles of oomph and dopamine. High on drama and pep, hustle bustle let the ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ rein the chaotic ambience backstage. Scrambling models, nervous designers and hurrying make up crew all striving hard to fit the changing themes and moods of the shows. Setting the helluva high mercury levels mirror cracking stares, bulging pouts, running brushes and hissing sprays went ahead to let the madness prevail. Amidst all this excitement and effervescence fashionfad’s lens caught out Indrani Das Gupta getting her hair done felinely, Pia Trivedi in her patent pout and Lakshmi Rana painting her lips and backstage mood red.
