On the first day of the luxury & lifestyle exhibition, Extravaganza at the Grand Hyatt, Mumbai, international designer Marc Cain's summer prints stood tall, attracting one and all. The high end luxury brand continued to live up to the expectations of hundreds of women and men alike, who anxiously had been waiting for over an hour to be treated with the designs for the ongoing Spring- Summer season.

Bright coloured dresses and easy-going tops above a pair comfy trouser formed the silhouettes of the designs. The collection struck a balance between formal nightwear and semi formal street wear. While the formal palettes comprised of animal prints, muted silver and shinning black & white, the semi formal collection was dipped in multi coloured prints in which yellow, red and green dominated the hues.

A unique feature of the collection was the bags that the models flaunted as they strutted down the runway. While the shades contrasted the respective colours on the body, the attribute that reverbed synonymously was- Big is Better! The look carried by the models was that of sheer flamboyance and carelessly cool, a style statement that strongly echoes a care-a-damn attitude.

While the ramp show saw some of the regular faces of the runway, it will remain etched in the memories of many for staging a comeback for super model Aditi Gowitriker, who has been on a hiatus for the longest time ever! Where have you been, is the inquisitive question. "Well, just have been around. Enjoying life with friends and family", replies Aditi casually. But what about the millions of fans who have longed interminably for a glimpse of you? "Can not forget them ever. I am always there for them", she claims, which brings us back to the first question, Where? "They can see me on the website, keep mailing me on the fan club and catch a glimpse of me every time I attend a function", she instructs modestly.

So what happened to good old cat walking which we all miss? "You gotta be kidding me! Look at me, if I adorn the ramp now it will have to be called elephant walking!" Though that might be the case, it's really not that bad after all-I try to cajole her. Then what made you grace the runway here? "Oh this is just a casual walk that I am taking for Marc Cain because I'm in them all the time. It's always a pleasure to show off something that you have always believed in. I'm not going to praise the collection endlessly because frankly, the designs speak for themselves. But I thoroughly enjoyed myself here", she expresses gratefully.
