Here is a quick synopsis of the week full fashion and fashion statements.

Not to mention the international glam quotient as being represented by Jade Jagger, and the host with the most, Mehul Choksi, whose Gitanjali Lounge was the hotspot for all of LFW���s celeb guests.
Trends definitely veered towards romance in a big way. Roses, ruffles, frill, trailing tulles were largely seen. Fluid cuts as well as ���trophy��� silhouetted jackets were strutted on the ramp. Less embroidery but a bit of Ombre embroidery, a dying art was restored. Vivek Kumar���s attitude, Sonam Dubal���s spiritualism, Nilanjan Ghosh���s fight for the old, RA���s fantasy lady called Rose, Kiran Uttam Ghosh���s ideas of perception, Manish Arora���s goodwill, Jasleen Kochar and Jenjum Gada���s fight against pollution, Vivek of Viia���s finish and Sabyasachi���s stardom were some of the other aspects that turned me on. Nina Manuel, Moni Dutta, Amrit Maghera and Lisa Haydon were my favourite female models and Tarun Arora and Niketan Madhok my favourite males. I loved Bandana Tiwari���s red ���Marni��� trench. Tight fight between the two cozy twosomes, Saif-Kareena and Anil-Sabina Chopra who were seen tete-a-teting in corners. A great fashionable week, and remember always, my dears, fashion is about being noticed!
