Model-actress Malaika Arora on Friday turned muse for fashion designer Siddartha Tytler as she walked the ramp for his collection at the FDCI India Couture Week.

Malaika upped the hotness quotient in a black and golden glittering lehenga.

For makeup, the ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ girl went all glam with glossy lips, golden eyeshadow, kohl-rimmed eyes, and contoured cheeks.

Her long tresses were left open with a silver tiara as the hair accessory. She opted for silver bangles and matching ‘jhumkas’ to round off the look.

Actor Rahul Khanna too walked the ramp for Tytler’s collection wearing a black velvety sherwani.

Tytler launched his fashion brand in 2002, and his collection exudes sophistication and elegance, boasting ensembles that showcase interesting structures, bold colours, and sharp cuts.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Malaika has been the judge on reality shows like ‘India’s Best Dancer’, ‘MTV Supermodel of the Year’, and ‘India’s Got Talent’.

She last featured in the show ‘Moving in with Malaika’.

On the other hand, Rahul made his Bollywood debut with Deepa Mehta’s ‘1947 Earth’ (1999) alongside Aamir Khan and Nandita Das.

He has since been a part of projects like ‘Elaan’, ‘Raqeeb’, ‘Tahaan’, ‘Love Aaj Kal’, and most recently, ‘Lost’

Rahul also featured in the dystopian series ‘Leila’ starring Huma Qureshi in the lead.

Amit Aggarwal Explores Time in Latest Couture Collection

Soon after his graduation, Amit showcased his collections through student competitions around the world and began working with some of the country’s most accomplished designers, such as Tarun Tahiliani…reports Asian Lite News

Designer Amit Aggarwal, who recently showcased his collection at India Couture Week, has revealed that his collection is inspired by philosophy, science, religion, mythology, and math, all of which represent different aspects of time.

His collection, named Antevorta after the Greek goddess of the future, was showcased by Bollywood stars like Fatima Sana Shaikh and Abhay Deol.

Amit has had a long journey in the world of fashion. He is an alumnus of the National Institute of Fashion Technology in New Delhi.

Soon after his graduation, Amit showcased his collections through student competitions around the world and began working with some of the country’s most accomplished designers, such as Tarun Tahiliani.

As he showcased his designs at India Couture Week, the designer said: “The collection is inspired by the five concepts of time — philosophy, science, religion, mythology, and math. Each section was designed as one philosophy around time. I believe in the cyclic nature of time, and I feel that the past, present, and future continue into an eternal loop.”

His collection includes Banarasi sarees in a new form.

Talking about this, Amit said: “By using pre-owned Banarasi sarees, we have tried to give them a new lease of life by using new techniques, saving them, and creating a new form of the sarees.”

When asked about the inception of these designs and when he started thinking about them, Amit said that his overall narrative for design is a continuous flow, so he can’t pinpoint an exact time when the collection started

“It’s mostly a journey of evolution. More than the audience, I focused on the sentiment. For me, beauty is the epitome of creation or feeling, and that is all I wanted to evoke — something that makes you feel beautiful. I don’t look at the body as a definition of design. It is pretty much the soul, the emotion, and what it makes you feel,” he added.
