The 'circus show' called it curtains down at WIFW

New Delhi, Oct 20 : Call it a drama of fashion or creativity at its best, the grandinale of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) 2008 concluded with a spectacular show by ace fashion designer Manish Arora's circus collection on Sunday.

It was not models walking in sheer dresses, flowing evening gowns or in the empire line designs, but it was beautiful faces painted in white and red sporting clothes that one would associate only with a circus show.

It was a show stealer for sure and though one would have wanted to watch the well maintained models in feminine attires, the clown pants, voluminous jackets and ruffled skirts did ensure a magnificent finale.

After the show, Arora, conscious of the fact that he has set a new standard for creativity said that circus is a part of everyone's life and he couldn't think of a better closing to the event.

"Circus was a theme which I thought was easily related to everybody, it could be a child, it could be an adult, it could be all young. I think, it was such a nice theme that nobody has explored it so far as a collection," said Arora.

Arora said that he wanted the grand finale to be an out of box show.

His collection will be retailed from Wills Lifestyle stores across India.

Around 80 designers showcased their collection in this season of 'Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week', one of the major business-to-business fashion fete. The fashion week proved to be a launching platform for as many as 18 new designers.
