The last day of Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Spring
Summer 2014 turned out to be a perfect grand finale when Bollywood superstar
Anil Kapoor set the ramp of fire with his elegance for designer Ashish N Soni.
The Wills Lifestyle Grand Finale by Ashish N Soni concluded
the Spring Summer 2014 edition of Asia’s premiere fashion & trade event
Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week, held in New Delhi at Pragati Maidan today.
A magnificent set reminiscent of a Hollywood red carpet event was the setting
for Ashish Soni’s finale collection `La Dolce Vita’ characterized by extreme
simplicity, flawless lines, immaculate cuts and perfect finishes.
A multi level stage set the Opera theatre inspired mood for
the evening. The spectacular live music presentation by the remarkable western
classical and jazz bands added to the flavor of nostalgia and wistfulness of
the 60s. Striking designs combined with impeccable garment construction was the
truly the highlight of the evening!
Speaking on the eve of the grand finale, Atul Chand,
Divisional Chief Executive, ITC’s Lifestyle Retailing Business Division said,
“The Wills Lifestyle Grand Finale is the most looked forward to event on the
fashion calendar. It has always set new benchmarks in showcasing the best of
Indian fashion and creativity. The collection showcased today at the finale is
stamped with Ashish’s sophisticated and effortless style.”
He further added, “Our partnership extends beyond the ramp.
We have tied up with Ashish to co-create an exclusive collection for Wills
lifestyle stores which will be retailed under the Wills Signature brand. His
elegant creations will be a great fit with the brand."
Ashish Soni’s panache and originality, his intuitive and
original sense of style is reflected in the collection. The dresses are an
absolute fit for a walk down the red carpet and to make heads turn. Jackets
with in cut seams molded around the body, crisp white shirts, swirling circle
skirts highlight the fit & flare flavored silhouette. The smoking tuxedo
suit is just the right mix of laid-back elegance and modern decadence.
The men’s collection has Ashish’s interpretation of Tuxedo
suits and dinner jackets perfect for modern black tie events. These
masterpieces featured fitted cuts and a variety of chic lapels in fabrics such
as mohair wool blends to provide luminescence. The double-breasted dinner
jacket and scooped waistcoats were the highlights of the collection.
Expressing his excitement on the Grand finale, Ashish Soni
said, "I am super excited to be showcasing at Wills Lifestyle India
Fashion Week. The Grand Finale show was a pleasure to conceive and I am
grateful for the enthusiastic support received from the Wills Lifestyle &
FDCI team. I have always found the Wills Lifestyle range to be elegant and
sophisticated and look forward to having my collections at the stores which
will fit right in."
It was an incredible evening as the audience at the Wills
Lifestyle Grand Finale witnessed a remarkable show by the ace designer as he
presented a quintessentially modern yet uniquely original collection.
