She is one actress who always made headlines with her acting skills but at Amazon India Fashion Week (AIFW) Autumn/Winter 2017, she decided to steal the thunder with her confident ramp appearance as a showstopper for designer Anju Modi.

“I think the confidence came because of my theatre background because there also you are in direct contact with light with no one visible. So even when I don’t see anybody, you know that people are watching you. The connection is there and this feeling helped me here too,”

Unearthing some of the hidden treasures of textile heritage, Modi presented an architecture-inspired collection that channel in the core tenants of the label which is Timeless, Vintage, handcraft and organic.

A juxtaposition of fluid floral motifs and organic elements with structural silhouettes and design details of the minarets, the collection titled Neelambar was an outtake of our rich textile legacy; an attempt to weave the traditional knowledge and skills of our master craftsmen with threads of modernity.

Talking about Sakshi as a showstopper, the designer told IANS: “I connected with her from hearts. The kind of mature thinking she has is amazing. We always praise and admire her. We value the inner self of the person and Sakshi is great.”

Actress Ileana D’Cruz made a “bold statement” at the Amazon India Fashion Week (AIFW) Spring-Summer 2017 on Sunday in jewellery pieces designed by Abhishek Kankaria & Shrruti Tapuria.

While the collection was all about accessories, the actress walked the ramp in a red tube neck gown and zircon studded statement necklace wrapped around her neck like a tie, matching handcuff and earrings. Her hair was kept simple.

Sharing her excitement on being associated with the brand, Ileana said: “This is the first time I’ve worn Whatever accessories. They make a very bold statement and definitely have the potential to elevate any outfit.”

She also shared that walking down the ramp isn’t an easy job and praised the models who have been walking for different designers throughout the five-day fashion gala.

“I felt like precious cargo and I had to walk really carefully. ‘Not fall, not fall’ is what goes on in my mind when I walk. I hope I did them (Kankaria and Tapuria) proud,” Ileana said. Asked how she would wear the statement neckpiece, the actress shared that it is more of a red carpet piece.

“I am not a blingy person, but I have my moments of course. I have never worn anything so intricate,” she said.
