Couture calling

The good: The first day of the on-going Fashion Week in the city saw models showing off creations by designers Nida Mahmood, Shaina NC, Meera and Muzaffar Ali and Sonia Punwani.
Hyderabad’s swish set sauntered in to check out what’s hot and later, made a beeline for the retail area to lay their hands on the best stuff!
The bad: The show started much later then the scheduled time...(Now, why does that fail to surprise us!)
The crowd on the first day was sparse, and many designers were heard cribbing about the ‘no show’. But what was particularly annoying was this one socialite who actually dragged her toddler, barely two, to the hi-fi event! The restless lil’ tot was seen running around all over the place, and scrambling up the ramp during breaks. Surprisingly, the preening mom did little to control the lil’ one, even as other socialites raised their eyebrows and tch-tched the fact that the baby was up way past bed time!
