Resplendent in an olive green 'kurta' with leaf motifs, former India cricket skipper Kapil Dev lent glitz on Saturday to India's premier fashion event.
Dev walked the ramp for designers Ashima and Leena Singh on the opening day of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week to welcome the 2010 Commonwealth Games to be held in New Delhi.
"The show was how to make Delhi green...and to welcome the Commonwealth Games. That is how we have Kapil Dev and Tania," Singh said. Asian Chess champion Tania Sachdev joined Dev on the catwalk to promote the Games.
Designer Tarun Tahiliani showed his "goddesses" in white, flowy dresses while models for Ashima and Leena Singh wore cream and green embellished with colourful flower petals.
