It was quite a week for many Mumbai elites. The stars in India came down to walk the ramp in dazzling colours. It all happened at none other than the HDIL couture week.

Bollywood actors Zayed Khan and Shruti Hassan dazzled the ramp in the exquisite collection of designer Manav Gangwani titled ''A Tempestuous Affaire'' at the HDIL couture week. Gangwani's outfits had silhouettes ranging from well-draped traditional Anarkali suits and innovative churidar and kurtas. Zayed Khan, who is featuring in the big-budget Bollywood film ''Blue'', was the showstopper of Gangwani"s show, and said that being part of couture week was good as the best of the best pieces are showcased.

Female models sashayed the ramp in unusual traditional drapes paired with statement blouses. The designer used fabrics like velvets, satins, delicate nets, georgettes and antique laces, along with glistening lame and brocades. The colour palette had black, gold and emerald tones.

The collection is called ''A Tempestuous Affaire'' and is inspired from a piece of emerald. The gold shows how the cutting of emerald is done. It comes and glows into a beautiful emeralds so that is how it is.
