New Delhi, Designer Siddartha Tytler presented his royal collection “Caligula’s Feast” at the India Couture Week here with Malaika Arora and Rahul Khanna as showstoppers. The collection was unveiled by the designer on the third day of the fashion gala, being held at Taj Palace. Inspired by Roman Emperor Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, also known as Caligula, the collection showcased opulent designs on both traditional and modern dresses, including gowns and formals.
The centerpiece of the runway was adorned with flowers and tables set with plates of fruits and delicacies, creating a lavish atmosphere as the models took to the stage under the spotlight. The collection's colour palette began with black and transitioned through shades of beige, green, maroon, orange, and blue. Geometric designs, floral motifs, and patterns were prevalent throughout the outfits, with some pieces featuring rhinestone embellishments and crystal encrustations.
Unique blouse and skirt shapes added a distinct touch of royalty, elegance, and grace. Tytler skillfully blended Roman essence with Indian attire, pairing floral blouses with triangular maxi skirts and designing formal coats with half silver sides reminiscent of armour. The fusion highlighted the beauty of Indian traditional wear while incorporating a touch of Roman opulence.
Arora and Khanna brought the curtains down on the show and they wore the finest creations by the designer. Arora donned an armor-like V-shaped blouse with cutouts.
