Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag wearing a grey Rocky S sherwani was enough to set the ramp on fire at the first day of Kolkata Fashion Week (KFW II) on Wednesday night.

Rocky S showcased his bridal collection at the KFW II and Sehwag's showstopper came as a welcome surprise for guests and buyers alike at the five-day fashion extravaganza.

"I have always been working on bridal wear. Since the theme this time is 'Earth Couture', I stuck more to colours like grey, ivory, and other natural colours. The collection is light," Rocky S told IBNS after the show.

Talking about Sehwag's rampwalk, the designer said: "I wanted a 'different' showstopper this time. And Sehwag was the automatic choice."

Rocky S's collection mainly comprised heavily hand-worked sarees, kurtas, churidars, sherwanis and lehengas made of silks, brocades and hand-woven fabrics from Benares.

The second season of KFW kickstarted with a Ritu Kumar show and will conclude with Manish Malhotra's ensemble. Apart from Narendra Kumar, Rocky S, Anita Dongre, Wendell Rodricks, MonaPali, Dev R Nil, Zubair Kirmani, Kallol Dutta, Abhishek Dutta, Satya Paul, Mandira Wirk, Soumitra Mondal & Satya Paul, Kolkata Fashion Week will witness the unique creations of Neeta Lulla and Kiran Uttam Ghosh.
