Rohit Bal���s theme for the WIFW grand finale, is as offbeat as always.Sunil Sethi says, ���From the creative
badmaash of the VHIMW, Gudda is now going to strut on the ramp as a proud golden peacock.���
Gudda���s collection for the WIFW finale is going to remind all of India���s lost glory and resplendent past. Called Yasas, from the Sanskrit word yashasya, meaning glory, Gudda���s collection, as his collection note says, ���is inspired by the resplendent glory of India���s rich cultural heritage.
It reflects the splendour and grandeur of the Golden Peacock, a name India was once known by, the glamour and inherent luxury that India once was a part of. Going back and digging deep into the archives of ancient Indian costumes, pre-Mughal and Mughal, the textiles, the colours and the embroideries are in fact a journey into the past of this magnificent culture or era.���
Gudda himself says, ���It���s a fantastic time to do the finale, and I think it���s great that all the three factions have come together, everyone is in the right frame of mind, and we���re all happy. This is a fairly exhilarating feeling for me. I don���t see any splits happening in the future, because we���ve all learnt our lessons. This is the fifth finale I am doing, and I think I need to get some sort of a Nobel prize for it now!���
He added, ���That said, a finale is a finale and a great honour. For me, this is a triumph. Because, a) this is with FDCI, which was founded by us, we���re the founder members, and when you create something, you���re always close to it and want to be a part of it; b) I���m back with the finale which is even better; c) the association with FDCI, Wills and Showhouse, is like a multi-faceted triumph for me. How I will make clothes only God knows, but it���s a great feeling!���
