Mumbai: Indian actress Nimrat Kaur walked the catwalk for designer Payal Singhal as a showstopper on Wednesday at Lakme Fashion Week Winter-Festive 2015. The star of The Lunchbox and American TV series Homeland says that she chooses graceful clothing in her daily life.
“My personal style is cool, comfortable and graceful,” she said.
Singhal showcased a collection titled Mayaa that drew inspiration from the ancient design heritage of Mayan, Sumerian and Egyptian civilisations.
The designer took geometric and structured elements from old, beaten gold ornaments and translated them into running patterned motifs. Embroidery done in zardosi, pita kora, mukaish and leather applique were the high points of the show.
The silhouettes were clean and simple with relaxed-fit kurtas with dhotis, cropped palazzos, capes, lehngas and saris in a varied variety of colour palettes that varied from ecru, stone, ice-grey and salmon.
Kaur, who walked the ramp in a red and gold lehnga, says that she is a huge fan of the designer.
“I love her clothes. I love the fact that she does something unexpected with Indian clothes every time. Her clothes are easy to wear and yet make you feel glamorous and I like such outfits.”
The five-day fashion event runs at Hotel Palladium until Sunday.
