Designer Suneet Varma tied up with toiletries brand Fiama De Wills for the finale on Day Four of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week.

The inspiration behind his line was Tchaikovsky's classic operatic ballet Swan Lake and the showing also heralded the launch of Fiama's new gel bathing bars. The outfits were dramatic, luxurious and were collectively titled The Life of a Swan-Swan Lake. Bollywood starlet Amrita Rao did the showstopping honours.

Not surprisingly, things got off to a start with a professional ballet performance that left everyone waiting for more.

Spellbinding entry


Then came what we all were waiting for. Bhawna Sharma kickstarted things in this slinky white jumpsuit, complete with tulle overcoat and headgear.

Tassel thrill


Next we have model Jesse Randhawa in this riveting tasselled ensemble.

Bridal oomph


Looking very much like she was walking down the aisle was Lisa Haydon in this gorgeous gold and white floor-sweeping gown.

Passionate pink


Things took a colourful turn with this shredded pink sari, worn by Sanea Sheikh.

In the same vein


Varma then applied the same concept to a smashing churidaar kurta with tasselled dupatta.

Ethnic elegance


Marianna Dias twirls in a green and blue ethnic number showing off intricate embroidery.

Ruffles galore


Standing tall in a ruffled lace ghagra choli was Alesia Raut.

Mysterious black


The designer switches his palette once more, opting this time for timeless black.

Pastel pleasure


Binal Trivedi looks regal in a silk and tulle pastel outfit, adorned by a tiny floral motif at the skirt.

Celeb quotient


Amrita Rao provided the celeb quotient in a peach and gold cutwork sari that is distinctly bridal.

Leading his muse


Varma makes an appearance with his star guest at the end of the spectacular show.
