Onthe first day of the luxury & lifestyle exhibition, Extravaganza at theGrand Hyatt, Mumbai, international designer Marc Cain's summer prints stoodtall, attracting one and all. The high end luxury brand continued to live up tothe expectations of hundreds of women and men alike, who anxiously had beenwaiting for over an hour to be treated with the designs for the ongoing Spring-Summer season.

Bright coloured dresses and easy-going tops above a pair comfy trouser formedthe silhouettes of the designs. The collection struck a balance between formalnightwear and semi formal street wear. While the formal palettes comprised ofanimal prints, muted silver and shinning black & white, the semi formalcollection was dipped in multi coloured prints in which yellow, red and greendominated the hues.

A unique feature of the collection was the bags that the models flaunted asthey strutted down the runway. While the shades contrasted the respectivecolours on the body, the attribute that reverbed synonymously was- Big isBetter! The look carried by the models was that of sheer flamboyance andcarelessly cool, a style statement that strongly echoes a care-a-damn attitude.

While the ramp show saw some of the regular faces of the runway, it will remainetched in the memories of many for staging a comeback for super model AditiGowitriker, who has been on a hiatus for the longest time ever! Where have youbeen, is the inquisitive question. "Well, just have been around. Enjoyinglife with friends and family", replies Aditi casually. But what about themillions of fans who have longed interminably for a glimpse of you? "Cannot forget them ever. I am always there for them", she claims, whichbrings us back to the first question, Where? "They can see me on thewebsite, keep mailing me on the fan club and catch a glimpse of me every time Iattend a function", she instructs modestly.

So what happened to good old cat walking which we all miss? "You gotta bekidding me! Look at me, if I adorn the ramp now it will have to be calledelephant walking!" Though that might be the case, it's really not that badafter all-I try to cajole her. Then what made you grace the runway here?"Oh this is just a casual walk that I am taking for Marc Cain because I'min them all the time. It's always a pleasure to show off something that youhave always believed in. I'm not going to praise the collection endlesslybecause frankly, the designs speak for themselves. But I thoroughly enjoyedmyself here", she expresses gratefully. For more information stylekandy.com
