Finally got to see ' Tropical Butterfly', the exquisite technicolor dress, part of  Manish Arora's Pop Art collection, features over 1000 individual butterflies that glow in the dark and took over 3 months to complete.

Little Shilpa's  fantastic kitsch number with lots of combs, dust-pans,tea-strainers and her signature fabric origami flowers. This ones all about the multitasking woman.
