The Indian diaspora of Toronto were taken on a fascinating journey into the worlds of Indian fashion and the hi-life at an extravagant show held alongside a dazzling weekend celebrating Indian films. The fashion sequence “Gitanjali Jewels presents Nizam by Vikram Phadnis”, which was inspired by the rich traditions of Indian royalty and evoked the opulence of a bygone era, reached a heady climax when the beautiful Sonakshi Sinha made a dramatic entry in an exquisite outfit from the designer’s ‘Nizam’ collection.
Models showcased the gorgeous creations from Phadnis which were inspired by some breathtaking jewellery from Nizam, crafted in classic gold set with uncut diamonds and coloured stones, which was a combination of the spectacular art of India’s artisans and the rich heritage of traditional jewellery forms like jadau and minakari.
