Luxury dresses, gowns and jumpsuits were the mainstay of Rajat K Tangri's collection on Day Three of the LFW.

Australian-Indian designer Rajat K Tangri put together themes from the Victorian and Georgian periods and the classics of the '50s to come up with his collection 'Vintage Romance', showcased at Lakme Fashion Week.

Playful and feminine, the garments were created keeping in mind an "ultra-glamorous and fashion-conscious woman" and rich fabrics, hand-embroidery patterns and structured silhouettes were the order of the day.

Starlet Koena Mitra performed showstopping honours.

First up is this white-hot mini, with rich embroidery at the waist -- and don't miss that rich, pearl-sprouting ring from Golecha's Jewels, who sponsored the accessories for the show.
