New Delhi [India], August 10: Bollywood actor Sidharth Malhotra turned heads on Friday as he walked the ramp for designers Shantnu & Nikhil in Delhi.
The actor took on the role of showstopper for the duo's latest couture collection, which draws inspiration from the iconic 1970sa decade known for its disco, bold prints, and timeless fashion.
Speaking with ANI, Sidharth reflected on his evolving fashion sense. "It's gone a long way from when I was here in Delhi in my hometown during college days. We didn't have so many options like what we have today and then over the years performing in different films, I think fashion has changed over the years, so you have to update yourself today. I think the silhouettes are a little more muscular. Maybe in a casual way, I would like fabrics that are more comfortable and worn out and informal. I like a fun tuxedo or a jacket for any event. So it depends on the day in the event."
"Well, it feels really great to be back in Delhi and to walk for Shantnu and Nikhil for the new Studio Mix line which is retro 70s. They brought back bell bottoms for men which is really cool. I love the material they've used with it and some really cool accessories to be masculine chic ready for a party but then yet not trying so hard," he added.
The 'Shershaah' actor strutted down the runway in a striking velvet blazer layered over a vintage ruffle shirt.
Sidharth also surprised the audience with an impromptu dance on stage, adding his unique touch to the night.
Shantnu and Nikhil spoke about their inspiration, explaining that the 70s were a time of great enthusiasm in music, fashion and more.
"When we look back at the 70s, that's the decade of great enthusiasm, when it came to music, to dressing, to styling, a great time for men wear. And we have taken influences from that era and brought it back. Needless to say, we were both born in that decade, so we are quite happy to be extending about how we feel about the seventies today," the duo said.
The show was a trip down memory lane with models showcasing a range of retro outfits. Men rocked bell bottoms and ruffled shirts, while women shimmered in glittery gowns, retro sunglasses, disco dresses, and moreall inspired by the iconic fashion of the 70s.
Veteran actress Zeenat Aman opened the show in a stunning printed high-neck blouse and black trousers.
The collection also featured a live performance by Saba Azad and Imaad Shah, who serenaded the audience with 70s hits. Saba, who later danced with Sidharth during the show, looked radiant in a printed pink cropped blouse and flared black pants.
