Grand Finale designer Rohit Bal along with his muse Kareena Kapoor Khan gave a stunning closure to the five day long fashion extravaganza that was Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort ‘2016 presented by LYF Smartphones. Bal, who is celebrating his silver jubilee in the fashion industry this year, turned finale designer after 2012. This was also the first time he collaborated with Kareena, the face of Lakme.
The venue of the Grand Finale was the historical St Xavier’s College and fashion met technology here as well. With every new edition to the collection, the backdrop changed face. It started out with iced patterns and moved on to roses, lots of sparkle and finally ended with poppies lighting up the grand building. Kareena looked every bit the diva, dressed in a royal blue lehenga with golden ‘chaand’ motif’s, as she walked the ramp. Titled ‘Koroshini’, which is an Urdu word for illuminate, the collection was Bal’s expression of subtle and gentle grace. The pieces were rich in organic fabric, exquisite embroidery and opulent lattice work. “The collection is called ‘Koroshini’, which in Urdu means illuminate. For me this whole association with Lakme, Kareena and the whole team is been about illumination,” Bal said. He was all praise for his muse. “Kareena is a vision. She really is a goddess. It’s not just about how she looks. It’s about the person she is, understanding, sharp and intelligent. I have a lot of friends in Bollywood, but this girl, despite being so young, she understands fashion, she understands inner beauty, she understands spirituality,” he said.
