Best & Worst At Blender's Pride Fashion Tour

Blender's Pride Fashion Tour 2012 ended with a bang in Mumbai day before yesterday. Some of the best fashion designers of the country presented their work in this fashion event. Needless to say that Blender's Pride Fashion Tour was grand. In retrospect, lets take a look at the best and worst designs presented in this event.

When you have the top fashion designers displaying their work, we do not really expect goof ups. But there were a few of course. But on the brighter side, most of the collections had a fresh perspective to offer. Veteran designer Neeta Lulla for example turned some of her models into Batwomen. We give her full marks for creating a visual impact. But she also managed to charm us with the elegant Anarkali dress that her showstopper Celina Jaitley wore.

Another designer who really impressed us in the Blender's Pride Fashion tour 2012 is Mandira Virk. Her models were dressed as the brides of darkness too. She used lace and net extensively in her collection. Many of the outfits were interesting but the showstopper Esha Gupta's gown just takes the cake. It was an exquisite piece of work endowed in black lace and net. The thigh high slit gown made us rewind to Angelina Jolie's right leg stunt at Grammy's this year.

Nandita Mehtani's designs were brightening up the mood with florescent colours. Her collection at the Blender's Pride Fashion Tour 2012 was vivid ensemble of bright colours. Orange, yellow, pink and bright blue ruled the roost on the ramp. She captured the essence of feminity in flowing gowns.

Here is Boldsky's pick of the best and worst designs that were seen in the Blender's Pride Fashion Tour 2012.
