TORONTO,
APR 30: There
was funky fashion, there was glamour,
there was glitz. There were gorgeous
lehngas, glorious sarees and stitched
sarees. There were chooridar ensembles,
bright and soft and flowing. The occasion
was the Neeta Lulla Bollywood Fashion Show
held at the Pearson Convention Center on
April 16 and it was a huge success.
Organized by Nirvana - Flavours of India,
this Fashion Show was one of the most
dazzling events ever held in Toronto.
"This
Fashion Show has been one of the most
spectacular Show I have ever seen", says
Manish Dube. "I have never seen a Show
like this not only in Toronto, but in
North America".
"Are the models from Mumbai", asked a lady
attending the Show.
No, the models were from Toronto itself
carefully selected from dozens of aspiring
models by Renu Mehta, who organized the
Show on behalf of Nirvana.
"Some of the models were dancers so they
were very sleek and graceful", revealed
Renu Mehta. "A few of them had prior ramp
modeling experience and one of them was an
Image Consultant who taught girls how to
walk the walk. The main thing was these
models are one of the best that Toronto
has ever seen".
Neeta
Lulla, who arrived just a few days before
the event, worked her magic to create a
fabulous Show. No wonder, she has been
called the Queen of Indian Fashion and is
one of the premier fashion designers of
India.
She has been instrumental in dressing many
leading Bollywood actresses including
former Miss World and actress, Aishwarya
Rai, Sridevi, Juhi Chawla, Ameesha Patel,
Kareena Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty and the list
goes on.
"Neeta's
passion for designing combined with her
immense creativity serves as a motivating
factor for many of her aspiring designs.
Her designs are known to empower and she
is best known for her simple yet lavish
styles", said Tony Singh and Sukhi Ghumman,
owners of Nirvana - Flavours of India
Restaurant, who were instrumental in
launching this unique designer in Canada.
"Our restaurant has been launched as a new
and unique concept gallery restaurant with
a definitive Indian theme in Mississauga",
say Singh and Ghumman. "Our aim is not
only to initiate authentic Indian cuisine
for the South Asian and the Canadian
palate, but to club this with a culture
statement. We want to focus on art,
culture and Fashion and want to bring many
more unique Shows to Toronto".
At the Show, Neeta's exotically woven
fabrics and elegant gowns were a rare
treat, as the models pirouetted up and
down the 60' ramp in her arabesque
Egyptian designs and unstructured soft
silhouettes with the classic contemporary
and chic look.
