Designer Monisha Jaising who will showcase her colossal collection Opera on July 28 has selected Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty to be her showstopper as she feels that the actress is the only one who will do justice to her show.

"As soon as I met Shilpa, it immediately struck me that she is the only one to do justice to the showstopper ensemble. Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but also one of the fittest actresses in the industry. She is the ultimate Monisha Jaising woman," Jaising told news agency IANS.

Bhumi Pednekar will walk the ramp for Reynu Taandon in the designer’s Cyan collection while actress Athiya Shetty will be the showstopper for the maiden show of designer duo Shyamal and Bhumika who are to showcase their couture collection titled The Princess's Soiree on July 26.

Sunil Sethi, President, FDCI, is excited about the tenth year of ICW and in a statement said, "The ICW has entered its tenth year and what has been most interesting is that our couturiers have influenced the evolution of the luxury consumer. They have not just been revivalists, but also innovators. Our embroideries and hand done crafts have found a place on the world map too that is why it is imperative to promote the 'Make in India’ endeavour. We hope to create a new language of high definition glamour through our celebrations
 
The seven-day fashion event will start today (July 24) with offsite shows by veteran designers Anamika Khanna and Rohit Bal. Manish Malhotra will be the grand finale designer for this year’s ICW and close the event on July 30.
