Indian Idol is a model rampwalker too

Abhijeet Sawant was at his charming best at LIFW 2005. Spotted in a Shantanu & Nikhil designer shirt, Sawant has turned into quite a dapper dude - far cry from the simple boy-next-door he was when auditions for Indian Idol began.

"I'm really enjoying myself here and will be walking the ramp tonight," said Sawant, who had Farah Khan and Shilpa Shetty swooning everytime he flashed his million-dollar smile.

Sawant will be walking the ramp at the Samsung 'Best Thing Say Everything' show on Thursday night. Accompanying him will be the 'Boys in Blue' of the Indian cricket team, who already seem to be in a mood to party, less than a week after their humiliating defeat in the ODI series against Pakistan.

Designer duo Shantanu and Nikhil have designed the outfits for the show. "The dominant colour for the show will be black. We have got Swarovski to design special metallic crystals for us, which we have extensively used in tonight's collection," said Shantanu.

Sawant however, won't be in black. "Shantanu and Nikhil have designed a greyish-charcoal coloured suit for me with Swarovski crystals all over it," Sawant said.

After the endearing 'Mohabbatein Lutaaonga' video, Sawant will next be seen in the video for 'Lafzon' that is currently being filmed. Although bound by a two-year contract with Sony, he is currently doing several stage shows and has reportedly received several offers for playback singing from Bollywood.
