Kangna Ranaut Takes Swipe At Bollywood
24 year old model Kangna Ranaut is more used to walking catwalks than offering opinions on the style and fashion sense of others however she recently admitted that, with a few exceptions, by and large the fashion scene in Bollywood is inherently lacking.
Ranaut revealed that she believes Sonam Kapoor to be the ultimate icon in style however when questioned about Bollywood as a whole, the model who has walked for Shantanu Goenka, admitted that the ‘style quotient’ in Bollywood just isn’t there and, aside from the likes of Kapoor and Priyanka, iconic fashion diva’s just don’t exist.
Ranaut was speaking after walking the catwalk for the designer Shantanu Goenka at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week and revealed that the range on show was very much inspired by Marie Antoinette, the former Queen of France. Indeed, the Goenka part of the show was very much a different spectacle than the usual seen at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week; the Baroque architecture of Versailles was used in the fine embroidery and appliqués on the various dresses and garments that were on show and the highly specialised wallpaper prints proved to be a popular addition for the baying audience.
Goenka admitted himself that he felt that Baroque was the next big trend in the world of fashion and was very keen to showcase that fact during the weeklong event. Garments made from silk, satin and tulles were on display as were a various assortment of dresses, jackets, gowns and skirts.
