Nicole Kidman to walk the ramp in Indian clothes

Australian actress Nicole Kidman will reportedly slip into Indian clothes to walk the ramp at a fashion show in Melbourne.

The Oscar-winning actress will don exquisite outfits by Indian designers Rahul Jain and Gunjan Arora. The duo is participating in a fashion show to support the cause of children affected by cancer at the Royal Children's Hospital of Melbourne.

"Kidman will wear a long sherwani like blue jacket with lots of red and yellow. The design on the jacket will look like somebody has embroidered the design, but it is a patented method of ours. The different colours blend on the garment to create the effect of an art," Rahul Jain is quoted by a news agency.

'Sirali,' the label under which Rahul and Gunjan retail their creations is characterised by a unique method where the cloth is prepared using a mix of coloured threads to create an effect of embroidery resembling a painting.

"The thread is used as a brush to make the clothes look like a huge painting. We have done gowns, saris, jackets and dresses for the fashion show and all the 14 clothes are going to be auctioned off and the proceeds will go to the hospital," Rahul Jain adds.

Apart from Kidman, other celebrity clients of 'Sirali' include Caroline Douglas, Naomi Campbell, Sean Connery, Malaika Arora and others.

Kidman and others will showcase the new collection called 'Wearable Art' where the expression comes alive with coloured threads diminishing the fine line of paint and canvas.

"The range is meant to be a merger of art and fashion," Rahul concludes.
