More pictures from the first ever Bangalore Fashion Week (BFW) 2009. Designer Namrata even got snooker World Champion Pankaj Advani and actress Anu Prabhakar to grace the ramp for her.

“FYI NAM as Namrata is fondly known and referred to by the cognoscenti is a tour de force of talent in India’s world of fashion. She is the fashion she invents. The two labels ‘NAMRATA G’ and ‘MAN BY NAM’ (oh God, how frightfully clever) boast of couture, prêt, casual and luxury clothing for Women and Men. Subsequently the label is synonymous with bags, shoes and jewelery.”
