Lara Dutta walked the ramp, but designer Rocky S sank

Bollywood actor Lara Dutta walked the ramp for designer Rocky S amid neon lights and thumping techno music at the fashion week Friday evening but even that failed to impress an audience bored with the monotonous lines of the designer's creations.

The collection, inspired by Nokia's prismatic handset collection, was all in black at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) here.

The designer had decked sultry Lara in a blouson off-shoulder short dress with pockets and silver lining teamed with cut sleeves jacket, ankle boots and junk jewellery.

"When I first saw the Nokia Prism. I immediately thought of a completely futuristic, graphic look for the collection," said Rocky S.

"Based on the look of the phone, my collection is black with hints of pink and blue," he added.

The collection offered silhouettes ranging from hot shorts, mini skirts, T-shirts, tent and blouson dresses to mildly structured jackets and pants with pink, blue and silver piping.

Handsets, ankle boots and prism-shaped junk jewellery were utilized to accessorise the collection. Electric blue and spunky pink embellishments with metallic sequins were used to adorn the outfits.

Commenting on his association with Nokia, Rocky said, "This partnership is a great opportunity for me to design a modern collection that reflects the independent attitude of the Indian women."
