Acclaimed director Shekhar Kapur has teamed up with fashion stalwart Manish Arora to direct a fusion show of cinema, fashion and Broadway-style theatre that they are calling Circus of Life.
Kapur, who directed films like Masoom and Bandit Queen as well as the Oscar-nominated Hollywood period drama Elizabeth, is set to use his storytelling skills to create a Broadway style theatre show to present Arora's avant garde designer clothes.
The show that will be staged at the Garden of Five Senses in the capital tomorrow, will be presented against the backdrop of a specially created music piece.
The event is part of the second edition of Chivas Studio, an entertainment property of global luxury scotch whiskey brand that has launched its new communication campaign.
Apart from the Fashion-Broadway, the three-day event, which kickstarts today, features a contemporary art installation with swaroski and photography by Bose Krishnamachari and Bharat Sikka, a music concert headlined by Karsh Kale and a fashion show by designer Nadita Mahtani.
The show is scheduled to culminate with a tribute to Alexander McQueen by Kitch and will showcase the Spring Summer 2011 trends for international fashion labels like Stella McCartney, Elise Overland, Alice & Olivia and Herve Leger.
The event is also slated to travel next to Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata respectively.
