On the ramp: Ballet, beauty and Amrita Rao

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.
