With Lakme Fashion Week Summer/ Resort 2011 coming up in less than a week’s time, LFW fittings is where all the action is. As the countdown begins, designers, stylists, show directors and make-up artists are putting their thoughts together to come up with something unique this year. The models minus their make-up, are having the ball of a time, trying clothes, footwear and accessories all day. Some of them are also catching a quick sap in-between. And contrary to popular belief that fashionistas are always dieting, it is nice to see them indulging in yummy treats during the lunch time.

Though things are being kept hush hush till the collections get showcased on the ramp, the buzz is that orange is the colour of the season. On Day One of the fittings, designers Priyadarshini Rao, Masaba Gaupta, Narresh and Rocky S were spotted running around the fittings area. Rocky is styling the clothes created by CANTABIL. He shared, “I am trying to mix and match ensembles to create affordable fashion that is more fun, keeping in mind today’s youth. For this particular collection, I have been associated with this premium casualwear brand right from the storyboarding of the designs. I am sure the response will be great!”

There will be more big names coming over for their specific fitting schedules this week. Lakme Fashion Week begins from 11th March, Friday and on 10th March there will be a kick off show by Anamika Khanna, which is currently the talk of the town.
