Red is extreme, a stimulator, heavy, intense and a stirrer. The collection aims at the controlled use of oxidized red as an extreme element, paired with fabrics with character, acting as a vent for the persistent human neutral state.“Into the Woods”, a collection by Divyam Mehta, draws inspiration from trees and textures bringing out a feeling of freedom, intensity and blissfulness, harmoniously blending into laboriously executed Shibori patterns.Interestingly, RohitKamra’s collection will redefine the royal look by modernizing it through sharply tailored bandhgalas and breeches. “Made in Jaypore” will see a huge Jaypore influence seeping into the ensembles.

The Male Model auditions were held a few days ago, where 200 aspirants were judged by a jury comprising designers RohitBal, VarunBahl, Divyam Mehta and ace choreographer AnuAhuja.Models were evaluated on walk, fitness and attitude on the ramp. The 24 of the new talent who were shortlisted will walk for this show.
