he theme was Bollywood.
The colours suitably kitsch.
All of it, though, was glamorous.
Rocky S was a man with a mission. He wanted to glamourise Bollywood.
"I have always been known as a Bollywood designer. And the popular mindset is that if it's Bollywood, you can't really design. You are not trendy," says Rocky.
"What people don't realise," he explains, "is that Bollywood
is just as fashionable and trendy as the rest of the fashion aficionados. In fact, we work a season ahead. Often, films release a year after they are shot for. So we design costumes a year ahead. We often predict trends."
And that's what everyone got to see: a profusion of colours, young, trendy wear, in a variety of fabrics -- like denim and brocade combinations, georgette and zari combinations.
Since a Bollywood inspiration is incomplete without Bollywood song, the show was set to a mixed version of
Mughal-e-Azam songs.
