Lakme Fashion Week Winter Festive 2014: Amit Aggarwal's Show

Amit Aggarwal is a dreamer and a true artist. His shows are beautifully crafted and the drama is palpable in his presentation.

The designer opened the Lakme Fashion Week's 2014 Winter Festive edition in Mumbai on the evening of the 19th, with a show along with Masaba Gupta's show.

Here is a look at the collections on the ramp. The tones were metallic mostly, but with also some splashes of colours like Red and Blue. All in metallic tones. The silhouettes were absolutely stunning - structured forms, gowns and corsets - very typically Amit Aggarwal. A dream like collection that is sure to have toned-down commercial versions that are going to be seen on many celebrities very soon!
