LFW Backstage: Why the green room is a special place

Last updated on: February 02, 2017 14:31 IST

Ahead of Amit Aggarwal's show, Rediff.com's Hitesh Harisinghani went backstage and captured these candid shots. 

It's hard to describe the hard work, creativity and patience that goes in to make a show successful.

Besides the stunning creations, models and designers owe a lot to make-up artists and hair stylists.

These pictures will tell you what it takes to make these models so beautiful on the ramp.

IMAGE: There is so much going on in this picture. A crew member applies a hair spray as another styles the model's hair. The model co-operates and uses a mask to protect her face.
With back to back shows, this is perhaps the only time the model gets to relax and the earphones help them do that -- cut away from the clutter.

IMAGE: Surelee Joseph lets her stylist work the details on her hair.

IMAGE: Anita Kumar rushes in just in time.

IMAGE: Reha Sukheja has to wait for her turn, her hands are full too.

Shweta Dolli and Anita Kumar listen to Candice Pinto's (not in the picture) intense conversation.
