<p>“Lara Dutta really liked one of my pink dresses which I showcased here today. She had tried three of my red carpet evening gowns in Goa, and really liked the pink one,”Rodricks told reporters after his opening show.<br /><br />The dress, modelled by Laxmi Rana at the fashion event, is essentially a fuchsia “diva gown”with a bold and deep neckline and seamless circle sleeves.<br /><br />Though the designer had asked Lara to come and walk the WIFW ramp for him, she couldn’t make it due to her packed schedule.<br /><br />“Her dates were clashing with the event,”he said.<br />According to Rodricks, the dress took three days to make due to its risque neckline. But he did not divulge the exact cost of the outfit.<br /><br />“I don’t think Lara would like me to give out the price of the dress in the press. But I can tell you that it is definitely below Rs 30,000,” Rodricks said. <br /><br />Rodricks had an interesting line-up of outfits, catering to modern women of all shapes and sizes. While he had certain sleeveless yet conservative tunics and tops, some of his outfits had thigh-high cuts and broad cuts on the sides, which not many women would dare to wear.<br /><br />Making a comeback of sorts at the WIFW, the Mumbai-based designer said: “I have got a great reception here.”<br /><br />Meanwhile, actress-turned-politician Jaya Prada who made her modelling debut at the Wills India Fashion Week on Saturday, said glamour was as important in politics as on the ramp. Wearing a printed dress with a flowery hairdo, the star was the showstopper for designer duo Asheema and Leena, who also had ex-cricketer Kapil Dev walking the ramp for them in a green Kurta.<br /><br />The 47-year-old former actress, who is the Samajwadi Party MP from Rampur admitted that she felt nervous before walking the ramp, but said that the experience was an exhilarating one.</p>
