Bollywood flavour at India Fashion Week

New Delhi, Aug 31: Bollywood is the flavour on the second day of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week, which is set to add to glamour and glitz in the form of Riya Sen and Sameera Reddy.

Reddy would be previewing the Manish Malhotra collection for the grand finale of the Spring-Summer event that has gone on the international format for the first time since it began seven years ago.

While Reddy would give ample opportunity for the shutterbugs this evening, fellow actor Riya Sen arrived here this afternoon to attend a seminar on hair care and hair styling trends tomorrow.

''The presence of both the stars are sure to give a boost to the fashion event,'' said an official of the Fashion Design Council of India, the apex body of the fashion industry, which is organising the event.

Last night, Bollywood hunk Arjun Rampal had surprised the audience at the Rohit Bal show making a cameo appearance.

Designers Jatin Varma and Araiya gave a fun-filled twist to the fashion week presenting contrasting collections this morning, a day after the event opened with the scintillating creations of Manish Arora, Rohit Gandhi- Rahul Khanna, Jattinn Kochhar and Rohit Bal.

Varma's white and frilled garments in chiffon showcased by models like Deepika Padukone, Laxmi Menon and Tapur Chatterjee were themed on 'Trip to Spain'. ''It is a funloving collection meant for chilling out,'' said Varma after the 20-minute ramp walk that was inspired by Spanish architecture. In breezy hues of plum, lily green and sky blue, Araiya's collection was on the theme 'White versus Whisky'.

Designers Gauri and Nainik, Ayesha Depala, Manav Gangwani, Falguni and Shane Peacock are among those who would be presenting their collections today.
