Katrina: To be a barbie??


Dress the Barbie contest attracted 75 entries from top designers in the country from which the 20 short listed creations were showcased on the ramp at the dazzling show.

And surprise-surprise, it was the winning dress by young designer Nishka Lulla that Bollywood’s glamourous actress Katrina Kaif modelled as the showstopper of the day. Katrina Kaif will be the Indian
celebrity on whose likeness a Barbie doll will be created by Mattel Toys India Pvt Ltd. Designer Vikram Phadnis’s creation opened the show with a white tulle layered gown with a crystal bodice, followed by Wendell Rodricks who showed a gown with a silver bodysuit that could move effortlessly from Red Carpet to Disco.

More dazzling gowns floated down the ramp by designers Vivek Kumar, Neeta Lulla, Atit Bhatt, Anand Bhushan, Tanvi Kedia, Abdul Haldar, Ruchi Mehta, Niak, Jyoti Sharma (a stunning shell pleated will- power shaded mini) Sonam Mehta, Prashant/Sudha and Shantanu and Nikhil. The
Shirt Company that markets the Barbie Clothing Line in India had tiny tot, Chanel Robinson (Marc Robinson’s pretty daughter) in a lovely red net gown.
Finally the beauteous Katrina Kaif radiantly glided down the ramp in Nishka Lulla’s award winning red shaded tiered mini with a brocade bodice clasped with a giant gold bow at the back.
