New Delhi, Mar 20 : Black emerged as hot pick of the designers for Autumn/Winter season at the ongoing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week.

Drawing inspiration from the world of sports, Bollywood stylist Manish Malhotra showcased a collection in black and gold merging sports and evening wear to come up with an assortment of dresses for both men and women.

Saris with kegs and racer backs, kurtas with zipper hood tops and guys wearing bandhgala (jackets) with track pants formed a part of this unique collection.

"The theme is black and gold. Sporty wear is going into evening wear and evening wear is going into sporty wear," said Manish.

Going minimalist, designer Rajesh Pratap Singh showcased his basic wearable collection all in black.

Using fabrics such as wool, silk and cashmere, Singh put together a collection of dresses, which stood out for their simplicity and fitted silhouettes.

This gala event will conclude on March 23. (ANI)
