Gucci store launch in Mumbai flanked by celebs
Mumbai: With The Lakme Indian Fashion Week on its onset and the Italian brand Gucci hitting the Indian market it was surely celebrity pouring night in Mumbai.
Bollywood and high-fashion go hand in hand, and just in case you'd forgotten, it was made evident once again at the India launch party of Gucci held on Saturday in Mumbai.

John Abraham added, "It's an established brand. It's a big brand and it's a very popular brand."
Dressed in a chic cocktail dress, in walked Preity Zinta, flanked by Bollywood's favourite director Karan Johar, both making a statement in black. When you show up for a Gucci event, what's better than carrying the brand you're there to support?

The one-liner of the day came from Zinta who chose the safest way to tackle the prickly marriage question. Preity joked, "I love you, I love you Karan you are the ultimate for me." To which Karan replied, "We are formally announcing we are getting married."
With Bollywood taking the centre stage at the party, the fashionistas played a supporting role. Designers Rohit Bal, Manish Malhotra and Narendra Kumar did make an appearance, but were overshadowed by the chamakte sitare
