Move over supermodels, make way for the college kids

Last updated on: September 22, 2009 
To fit in with the theme of his line 'Tangiers' for the final day of the LFW, Narendra Kumar ditched models in favour of college girls on the ramp. Created in collaboration with retail giant Westside, the designs are all about young, urban pret -- they are inspired by the Moroccan city of Tangiers and its effortless blend of modern architecture and ethnic heritage. The young girls seemed to have a great time on the ramp and all-in-all it was a vivacious, colourful, fun showing. Check it out.

First up is a cute checkered shirt and bubble skirt in matching maroon, with a sparkling beret thrown in for good measure.
