Day 3 at The India Fashion Week rolled in with Manoviraj Khosla's collection. Parmeshwar Godrej and Vijay Mallya attended the show. On display were good clothes showcased with great attitude. Eye masks in different colours added to the spunk. Only, the clothes seemed a little staid and repetitive- very prêt. The show closed with Kingfisher accessories- umbrellas, golf bags, and baseball caps.

Lalit Julan, who came in next, had Apache-Indian sing the song in the final sequence. The opening kurtas were interesting and sober, but the rest of the men's ethnic clothes were quite bizarre- and unwearable. For instance, the sherwanis were too ornate ostentatious, loud and over the top.

Monisha Bajaj had everything from prêt to diffusion. She showcased nice and interesting combination of colours. The finale had embroidered gowns in universal silhouettes with chiffon pleats

Malini Ramani Nothing controversial here for a change! This was regular stuff, with lots of mirror work. The styling was good and merits special mention

Anshu Arora Sen Though I was not present for the show, the grapevine was abuzz with the fact that she presented very wearable and interesting clothes. They were in fact, the best the day had to offer. Justifiably then, Selfridges has shown interest in doing business with her!
