LAKME INDIA FASHION WEEK: BLOOPERS

IF THE Lakme Fashion Week began with Bollywood stars dressing up, then the next two days saw models dressing down. After Carol Gracias' top came undone, Gauhar Khan turned the other cheek as her zipper came apart. More models spilled out of their dresses.

Garcias was walking the ramp for Sahgall's debut appearance at LFW when the tiny strings that kept her dress in place came loose. This particular show was not in the agenda. For a moment, the long-legged beauty froze. But then with professional poise, she pulled up her dress, and gathering it with her hands, sashayed down — as though it was just another way to hold the top. The end was not in sight.

On Thursday evening, Khan was walking the runway for Lascelle Symons when her black gown tore from the zipper, leaving her back exposed to the audience. She pulled herself and the dress together, but by then the damage had been done.
