Preeti Chandra's first ramp show at The Oberoi went metallic and to add to the glitter, Bollywood's glam girls Kangana Ranaut and Jiah Khan walked the ramp to showcase her collections.

Chandra opened a boutique in New York a decade ago, supplying clothes to Saks Fifth Avenue and Macy's.

She launched the trendy label GFO in Delhi two years ago.

"I came to India in 2004 as it was the right time to start business here. The fashion industry is now booming and we have the better of two worlds here," she said.

The show opened with Ranaut showcasing a shimmering white gown embellished with crystal and silk and linen outfits splashed across with gold and silver.

Khan looking self-conscious on the ramp wore a golden outfit.

"I worked with metals to create embellishments and it wasn't easy," says Chandra. "Since metals are in fashion in the West, I had to create outfits with them. Or else some other western brand would have offered it."

"I plan to set up a store in Bangalore and a few more in the NCR," Chandra said thinking about expansion.
