Actor Minissha Lamba dazzled as she sashayed in a Monapali ghagra choli at Kolkata Fashion Week (KFW) II. The Kidnap girl in a chat with India Blooms correspondent Sreya Basu.
You seem to be in love with the showstopper dress of Monapali.
Absolutely. I am in love with this tribal ghagra choli. Have you ever seen a ghagra choli that is completely bead-worked -- it's so unusual!
Given a choice, would you wear this dress off the ramp as well?
Definitely. This dress is extremely different, the tribal feel itself is so unusual. And it gives you an eclectic feel when you wear something like this (which is from some other part of the world) in a city. It stands out from the usual designerwear.
What kind of clothes do you wear usually?
I prefer comfort dressing. And now-a-days, I have become obsessed with dresses -- I have forgotten jeans and capris completely.
What colours do you prefer the most?
At the moment, it's aqua blue. But it changes with my mind. I am a woman and I have the right to change my mind anytime (giggles).
Are you brand conscious?
Not at all. I shop from standalone shops as well as designer boutiques. The fact is, you need to have an eye to spot the right stuff for yourself. You may find the right pair of earrings from a roadside stall to go with your designer dress. There's nothing to be ashamed of street shopping.
Are you going to buy anything from the Monapali collection?
They are kind enough to gift me the showstopper dress. In fact, they made the dress specially keeping me in mind! Besides, both Mona and Pali have promised me an entire wardrobe of their creation. This is only the beginning. How I look forward for them!
This is the second time you walked the ramp at KFW. What changes could you spot?
The change is astronomical. KFW II has become bigger, more professional, more organised than KFW I -- and that too in just about six months' time. I hope it gets better with every season.
Will you participate in KFW III as well if you get a chance?
Why not! I will come for KFW III, IV, V -- for every season if the organisers want me to.
