The star studded affair took place a couple of weeks back and most of the designs were stellar! It was also for a good cause as the proceeds from the show went to CPAA (Cancer Patients Aid Association) so it was doubly good. The designs are innovative, fun and beautiful. There are a couple of designs that are extremely tacky, but most were extremely pretty so it made up for it.
The mix of textures, designs, hues and zaris was just right. They worked well together without looking gaudy or overwhelming...which is quite rare. The word that came to mind when I saw these pieces was 'spicy'! And, they certainly are very spicy!
Here are a few highlights.
I love the colour, very rich and vibrant. The different textures add more character and distinction to this saree.
Sakshi Tanwar makes this saree look good. There's nothing really special about it except the blouse, which is really nicely done.
Another very dramatic look. Although the colour combination of red and black is over played these days, this design puts new life into it.
The design of the saree is unremarkable except for how it's draped. I love this design, it shows off a bit of leg without over doing it. Very sexy and very innovative!
The colours are a little too bright when combined, but the look is pretty nice. The only bad thing about these two piece sarees is the extra tucking. The more fabric you have to tuck in, the bigger your stomach looks. You also run the risk of stuffing too much fabric, which can look bumpy and sloppy.
I love the colours and the design.
This is quite a beautiful creation. If you wanna go for the 'maharani' look, then this saree is definitely for you. The style and design take me back to a time of empresses and queens and dashing princes and trade on the silk road. It's got an air of imperial beauty and opulence to it that will suit any Bollywood premiere or your cousin's lavish wedding.

Hi,
Can you figure out how she draped the last saree. Is it just embroidered down the center of pleats, and then a band that drapes around the hip or is this somekind of new Shaina NC drape? She supposedly has 17 new drapes or something.
Thanks
It's a two piece saree from the looks of it. You can see the pallu piece being tucked into the waist and being brought around the model's left side to be draped over her shoulder.
On another note, I've actually been trying to figure out if this can be done with just a regular 6 yard saree and I've come to the conclusion that it can. The awkward part is that the pallu has to be flipped behind the pleats so as not to appear inside out.
If you are flexible about how you wear a saree then consider an alternative to the nivi style. The Kandyan style of saree draping can easily accommodate the Shaina NC pleated look.
I loved all the white sarees. Who designed these sarees?
can some one please tell about the green sari with orange colour in it. Is that the design of the sari or some extra orange piece been draped here. How that blue saree's pallu had been draped
