Ever since Anna Wintour (Editor-in-chief of Vogue US, since 1988) changed the face of the fashion industry by introducing Hollywood superstars as cover girls, we’ve witnessed a worldwide boom of fashion and film fusions.
Closer to home, the scenario is no different. It’s evident that neither the fashion industry nor Bollywood can sustain themselves without each other. And, these designer-actress duos are the latest craze, thanks to their sizzling collaborations.
Deepika Padukone and Wendell Rodricks
While she looks sublime every time she walks the ramp, there’s something else altogether about Deepika Padukone when she does so in one of Wendell Rodricks’ ensembles. And they haven’t stopped just there. Deepika and Wendell even launched a range of spa products together and made sure that much like their successful collaborations, their friendship also grew stronger.
Kareena Kapoor Khan and Manish Malhotra
Kareena Kapoor and Manish Malhotra are delightfully inseparable. From sporting his lehengas and saris in films (which by the way, have earned her a tonne of compliments), swearing by Manish’s designs even for public appearances, to incorporating many of his creations in her personal wardrobe, they surely create magic together.
Sonam Kapoor and Anamika Khanna
We just can’t deny the fact that some of Sonam Kapoor’s most spectacularly flawless ramp looks have been created in the atelier of designer Anamika Khanna. Her fairy-cum-goddess like aesthetics, bring out the most stunning side of Sonam Kapoor.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Neeta Lulla
From trusting Neeta Lulla for her look at some of the most significant and noticed occasions (case in point, the red carpet at Cannes) to dazzling the ramp in her finest creations, Aishwarya Rai has forged a strong familial bond with the designer and the duo have sure come a long way.
Vidya Balan and Sabyasachi Mukherjee
Sabyasachi Mukherji changed the way the world looked at Vidya Balan. From being jinxed by the constant glare of the fashion police, to emerging as the woman of substance, who redefined traditional dressing in modern India, Vidya Balan has a lot to thank this talented designer for.
Shilpa Shetty and Tarun Tahiliani
Whenever the perfectly sculpted Shilpa Shetty has walked the ramp as Tarun Tahiliani’s showstopper, she’s been nothing short of ravishing. They’ve set the temperature soaring in the fashion arena and also share a close bond that makes the ladies turn green with envy.
Bipasha Basu and Rocky S
How could they not be a perfect match? After all, Rocky’s daring designs and Bipasha’s bold demeanour come together seamlessly, every single time. From rocking it in Rocky’s collection to letting her hair down with the designer, these two share a fabulous equation.
