The models sizzled on the ramp as the night was set alive with mystical music and an enthusiastic audience. The silhouettes, colours and textures speak volumes about the innovative minds of Pankaj and Nandita Basu. Soft draped dresses, structured tops and gathered skirts were few of the eye-catching designs of the night.

The designer duo worked unanimously setting trends in designer-wear at the fashion show organised by Blenders Pride Magical Nights Tour 2012. They unveiled their new collection which featured creations that made heads turn.

Pankaj charmed the audience with flowing fabrics and his designs comprised bright multi hues mostly on blacks with peacock and garden prints. While Nandita showcased her palate in crème, beige, yellow, edgy rust, fiery red, mustard, olive and pleasing pastel shades. Most of her couture was carved with frills and pleats above knee length and her collections were inspired by tribes and the contradictions faced in day to day life. Models held the attention with ponytails and open hair and walked the ramp with pride.

The show was sequenced in two series and lasted for less than an hour. A live performance on the tabla by Jonqui-Dibyajyoti Dutta combined with DJ Whosane-Hussain Babai kept the audience spellbound throughout the show and pepped up the evening.
