The final day at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week had some glitzy designs on the ramp. But most lacked any originality and there were a small number to rave about. Hemant and Nandita's show had interesting high waisted trousers and skirts in linen, organza, detailed with traditional Indian embroidery like dabka work to give it a novel international look. Joy Mitra's collection, and interesting take on Indian attire, looked like it was inspired by Sabyasachi, as the ensembles reminded us of his designs.

Umesh Vashisht's designs had gowns and dresses in satin, silk and georgettes in five colours; yellow, purple, red, black and gold, which had nothing great going for them. Renu Tandon's ombre effect creations didn't make much of a style statement.Floral motifs were predominant in her collection ranging from saris to dresses. Geisha Designs had skirts and ankle length dresses in various colours.

Natural motifs like trees and leaves were primary. However, we couldn't make much of the plastic boleros and coats- how many of us would ever wear something like that. Rabani and Rakha did not derail from the floor length hemlines, as their collection too had some gowns in georgettes and satins. Though we did get to see some double shaded saris detailed with sequins.

Adnormal by Abhishek Dutta was an ode to school in it's length and breadth. The ties and shirts teamed with shorts were great, the detailing with belt and the buckles were striking too. Parvesh and Jai's designs were all about beach wear. The kaftan and kurtas in see through chiffons and georgettes fabric made the collection cool and summery, perfect for sun and sea.

Though there was nothing original in it. Prashant Verma was on an outer space trip. At least that what his collection said. He showcased padded astronaut pants, truly amazing Earth prints on tops and dresses and some funky necklines.

The futuristic collection was well interpreted with belts and dresses with solar cell details, embroideries depicting circuit boards and robotic arms with wires and stuff as prints. The jeweled embroidery he used on collars was, however, a bit too high on bling.

Samant Chauhan started his show on great note with flowing dresses in chiffon and Bhagalpur silk, embellished with tonal MoP beads and discs. His contemporary collection - the paneled dresses, textured short dresses, off-white jacket and skirts with paisleys in gold woven in and the layered ensembles with jackets crafted as slings and aprons - were good.

However his Indian wear line was little out of sync. Amit Gupta's collection was a neat one with fine finish and simplistic silhouettes. Dresses of all lengths in monotones and prints were perfect for wearing straight off the ramp. But a bit more innovation would have spiced up the collection.

The Virtues trio of Ashish, Viral and Vikrant did what they do best - using eco-friendly techniques on natural fabric to make some great clothes. The Wills Lifestyle Grand Finale collection by Manish Arora was a high voltage stuff.

The dazzling collection had out-of-the-box creations like a skirt with swings, shrugs and jackets with enormous ruffles, all-over sequined shift dresses in vibrant hues, printed leggings and gowns with complete sheeting of gold discs or leafy appliqu and #233;s. It was a typically Manish Arora affair - kitschy, fun and conceptually mind blowing.
