Tarun Tahiliani’s show for Levi’s was spectacular. Twinkle Khanna and Anu Dewan were among the guests.
The show was sexy and made for a great watch featuring models Indrani Mukerjea, Moni Dutta, Waluscha Robinson, Diana Penty, Mashoom Singha and many others. Either these girls have amazingly thin legs or it was the slimming effect of the skinny jeans. The hair was straightened and pumps and peep toes comprised the footwear. There was a fair bit of cleavage on display which made the boys very happy!
Different hues of blue, white, black, charcoal, mauve, orange, indigo,browns, grey, gold, turquoise formed the colour palette. Prints comprised lots of paisley and paisley and Chintz prints embedded in the jeans fabric. Tie and dye prints were also seen. The drapes of the tops were beautiful. Some tops and jeans had lots of shimmer and shine on them while others were subtle. Velvet and corduroy was also used. Georgette, silk, cotton, denim, jersey were among the fabrics. The various jeans were sand-washed, acid washed, frayed (destructed), embroidered or Swarovski crystal embellished, offering a lot of variety. Skinny jeans, capris, tunics, tees, skirts, mini dresses, jackets, cropped jackets, coats, Jodhpurs, racer back shiny tees and belts with metallic chains were on display.
Akshay Kumar was the showstopper but his outfit wasn’t show stopping. It was a tee with Levi’s emblazoned across it, faded jeans and black knee length boots. He wore glares and oozed an arrogant attitude with every step. He rose amidst smoke, a sexy model by his side. Then, he walked the ramp and stopped near wife Twinkle. After a waltz, the model was ready to unbutton him. He refused her, asking wife Twinkle to do so and she blushed due to embarrassment and did it for him. The audience broke into whistles and applause. Then he walked the ramp with designer buddy Tarun Tahiliani.
The show was a super success.

Tarun Tahiliani said, “It is a dream to design for the most iconic denim brand in the world and infuse it with an Indian soul. Here is a vision of the hardiest facric in the world: distressed, destructed, over dyed, acid washed, printed and embellished with prints and motifs from the sub-continent. I find it rather like opening an heirloom and inhaling a rather heady aroma of camphor and history. The collection fuses a fresh vocabulary from cultures born in new avatars-the potent symbols of the American and Hindustani. Levi’s denim has an Indian soul now.”
Akshay Kumar said, “Levi’s is a brand that I have known trusted and loved for longer than I can remember. Wearing a Levi’s is more than just wearing a pair of jeans. It is about becoming part of a history more than 136 years in the making- and still going strong. What you have seen here today will hopefully unbutton an another chapter in history.”
