Below pictures highlight works of two designers Malini Ramani and Rocky S

Malini Ramani: What is effervescence without a spot of funk and what is Malini Ramani without a large measure of both? Meet the designer who dares to put her joie de vivre firmly on the style radar. Fashion's very own enfant terrible Malini Ramani has always defied rules to create with the courage of conviction - the conviction to follow the dictates of her heart. A quintessential rebel without a pause, for Malini the endeavour is to constantly push the envelope by breaking away from the obvious and adding a dash of cheer to the mundane. Little wonder then that her ensembles are always original, bursting with zest in a happy medley of colours, cuts and cascades of shimmer.

ROCKY S : A trendsetter in his own rights, Rocky is one of the few Indian designers concentrating on western wear in a vivid way. His brilliant creations for distinguished clientele have lent a hand in his slow and steady rise as a film costumier. ROCKY S was also the first designer to design for both celebrity and the common man.
