Blackberrys Sharp Nights 2013

May has been an eventful month, quite literally.
Last week, I received an invite for the Blackberrys Sharp Nights and what do you know, I had another event to attend that very evening as well. The concept behind the Blackberrys Sharp Nights is to bring together cutting edge fashion in menswear as well as to gather versatile talent in Bollywood. For this years line-up, Ayushmann Khurana, Arjun Rampal, Karsh Kale and Anushka Manchanda were set to walk the ramp and later perform at Mehboob Studios which led to the decision that this was one event I just had to attend!
Along with the fab four of the evening, a number of celebrities and models such as Nauheed Cyrusi, Shazahn Padamsee, Sarah Jane Dias, Arunoday Singh, Candice Pinto, Pia Trivedi and Apurva Agnihotri were also present.

The evening started with the fashion show which was slightly delayed from the time it was originally meant to start. Being the first fashion show I've been to, it certainly was one to remember. Blackberrys collection for S/S '13 is very distinctive and fresh with the usage of bright colours instead of boring neutrals which are  generally used in menswear as well as elements like bow-ties, brogues, suspenders, linen and khadi fabrics and ankle length trousers which sets them apart. The show was wrapped up by the 4 showstoppers who drew cheers from the audience.

Post the show, snacks, drinks and conversation was flowing. Soon the Jam-Up part of the evening began which consisted of performances by the lineup of artists. Arjun Rampal began with groovy electronic dance music that got everyone moving and shaking. Following him was the wildly popular star of the evening Ayushmann Khurana who was hooted and cheered for, even before he got on stage! He performed a number of songs, the favorite being 'Paani Da Rang'.

Finally, with the earlier delay pushing the next couple of performances even further back, we decided to call it a night after Ayushmann's performance. All in all, it was an amazing night which brought together music, fashion, entertainment and talent, one that was definitely worth attending.
