Chitrangada for Tarun Tahiliani

Among the few things we know about Chitrangada Singh is that she lights up the runway the moment she steps out of the wings.

To say that Tahiliani's collection was a riot of colours would be an understatement.

The collection, Past Modern, has been inspired by the work of The Singh Twins.

Tahiliani spared no colour -- white led the list with black, followed by muted tones and some bold bright hues like rust, orange and red to violet dark blue.

Men's wear included lots of wildly printed shirts, waistcoats, sherwani, a set of shaded blue/green sherwani and long coats, with placement prints giving the line a very vibrantly hued appearance.
