Ranna Gill's collection was replete with vivid and bright colours reflecting the choice of today's youth. The collection titled 'Nirvana' had a collection of day dresses, beach wears, and evening wears.

 

"As a designer I love feminine clothes. I love sexy clothes. I love colour. You saw my prints on the runway and I was in a very 'Nirvanic' while designing the collection. It's happy, it's summer, it's colour, it's sexy and it's for a modern woman," said Gill.

 

Bollywood beauty Riya Sen became the show stealer as she gracefully sashayed down the ramp wearing a heavily embellished mini skirt.

 

"I have never really modeled for her before but I have known and seen her clothes to be very young , very- very trendy, very fresh, very -very sexy. So you know when I got this offer instantly thinking to myself I was like wow!I must do it and I must be there," said Sen.

Titled as 'Label' the designs were crafted by Amrish Kumar, Ritu Kumar's son.

 

The floral prints and geometric patterns in varied hues dominated the collection and floored the fashion buffs.

It has colours and makes a fashion statement and has and an added lifestyle. It is meant for young Indian and young people internationally as well," said Ritu Kumar.
