LFW 2011- part 4 backstage frenzy

Although Lakme Fashion Week is one place where glamour and fashion are at an all time high, the backstage is one place where everthing is deglamourised. Everyone in their own natural avtar.
Things going haywire, last minute preps, patience is lost, sewings, fittings, cutting, ironing. . . . .  .
 all working hard to ensure that the show is the best.
Following here is a backstage preview of Amalraj Sengupta's preshow prepartions.

The pathway connecting the men and women green rooms. Life size miror and instructions written beside it. sorry cameras not allowed inside the green rooms !!

Clothes hanged in the order of sequence. Loved the collars and detailings.

"Like every good man, I strive for perfection and , like every ordinary man, i have found that perfection is out of reach- but not the perfect suit. "- edward tivnan
