Masaba Gupta to dedicate fashion line to IIFA

Fashion designer Masaba Gupta, popular for creating quirky designs, will showcase a line inspired by the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Weekend and Awards at this year's edition of the gala in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in June.

With actors Vivek Oberoi and Neha Dhupia hosting the Fashion Extravaganza, an event dedicated to fashion, at the 16th edition of IIFA Weekend and Awards on June 6, Masaba will present a collection inspired by IIFA.

"We've got Fashion Extravaganza featuring Rocky S, Masaba and Gaurang Shah. There will be different kinds of collections from each of them. Masaba is doing a special collection for IIFA. It is inspired by the trophy... the gold and black.

"It has the sun graphics also because the IIFA trophy is inspired by the sun," Sabbas Joseph, director, Wizcraft International Entertainment, the organisers of IIFA, told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

The International Indian Film Academy, established in 2000, was initiated with the aim of celebrating Indian cinema across the world.
