But there's much more than screen stars to the ongoing fashion extravaganza in the glamour capital. For one, the fashion week scores really high on sheer variety on the ramp. Each collection unveiled so far has boasted a handwriting of its own. Epitomising this was the South African Style Meets Bombay Chic show on Wednesday evening. Two South African labels - Clive Rundle and Sun Goddess - showcased their spring-summer 2007 collections on the NCPA ramp. Strikingly different from what the fashion week has seen so far, the collections scored on richness and variety.

Floor-kissing jackets and gowns, evening dresses, skirts, cropped jackets, shirts, loose pants and many more interesting shapes were piled on effectively. Bold checks and velvets caught the eye, along with unusual prints and loud colours. Orange, burgundy, peach, purple, brown, olive, pink, blue as well as whites and blacks made up a riot of hues.
