Top models sizzled the ramp at the ongoing 15th edition of Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WLIFW) Autumn-Winter 2010, on 27th March.

Kiran Uttam Ghosh showcases her designs based on the 'post American modernism', depicting the abstract artwork of that era.

The collection was offered in essentially black with brown, white and a patchwork of several other bright colours.

"It was actually based on post-American modernism. It is called abstract-expressionistic art. It took weighing in America in the post World War-II, which was in the late 1940s and flourished in early 1960s and it was just abstract art. You have a canvas, you take what you want to do with it and actually put New York on the map of the art world, which till now existed only in Paris. So that is what inspired me. That's when I looked into the few pictures of modern art from that period, which just inspired me," says Ghosh.

The WLIFW-AW 2010 will witness the participation of 130 designers, among which 19 are debutantes. 75 of them will present interesting shows. The event is hosted by the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI).

The fashion extravaganza will feature 43 shows.
