Touted to be a grand affair with some truly exquisite designs and loads of Bollywood, Synergy1 Delhi Couture Week, the second edition of the couture week, neither lived up to the 'couture' expectations nor could it justify a rather crammed venue.

All eyes were set on the ramp and the most awaited moment was here. Day 1 of Synergy one Delhi Couture Week started with a bang, with none other than India’s most loved Bollywood actress, Madhuri Dixit, gracing the occasion.

‘Emeralds for Elephants’, a wild life conservation project, has chosen Madhuri Dixit as its ambassador in India. This project is devoted to the protection of endangered Asian elephants and tigers.

Designer Varun Bahl opened the second edition of Synergi1 Delhi Couture Week with a collection which was an amalgamation of Indian and royal French culture. Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit graced the show not as a showstopper but as a spectator.

Even though there's a buzz every time she returns to the country, Madhuri Dixit Nene says that she has become immune to it.

New Delhi: A new title sponsor, the best of designers and an ideal business platform for participants to widen their customer-base - the second edition of the Delhi Couture Week will offer all this and loads of glitz and glamour when it opens Friday with Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit walking the ramp.

July 21, 2011, (Sawf News) - Madhuri Dixit looked resplendent in a black and gold floral anarkali suit at the launch of Gemfields' 'Emeralds for Elephants' jewelery at Hotel Taj Palace in South Mumbai on Wednesday, 20 July, 2011.

Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit has become the brand ambassador for a charity project for the conservation of Asian elephants. She says recent human-elephant conflicts would not have happened if the tuskers had their space. “Elephants are one of my favourite animals and I love them. So what we need to do today is to see how we can preserve our animals. I feel very strongly about this,” the 44-year-old actress said in a statement.
