Strings and Buttons

Stepping out of their Audis and VWs, nibbling at freshly baked Italian bread, or flaunting their “brand” new possessions – the guests at the Carmina Burana Concert at the NCPA blended fashion and music enough for us to report this swanky event in our blog.

Formals being the dress code for the evening, one could see a range from Silk Sarees & Khadi Kurtas, to Cotton shirts & High waist skirts to Tuxedos and Evening gowns. With minimal accessories just enough to fill in the void of that something-missing, elegance hovered in the air. ‘Bling’ was evidently not the call of the day.

       

   

We also managed to capture a few decked up guests after grabbing a quick bite at the luscious NCPA Cafe.

A bunch of kids from the American School of Bombay, on the other hand, stood out as they gathered there to watch their friends perform. Chaperoned by their teachers, rather casually dressed, the cluster made a fashion statement unique to the evening.

Ajay Mehta, one of the guests and an ardent pianist, carried a Grotrian-Steinweg  jhola. His friend Zarir chose the more casual look with a red turtle neck and an Adidas side bag.Contrary to our expectation, there was more to the attendees than just suits and ties,thus making us feel less out of place.
