Nethra Raghuraman opens the show for designer Arjun Agarwal

Designer Arjun Agarwal opened Day Four of Lakme Fashion Week with his winter festive season.

Inspired by Origami -- that was Arjun Agarwal's collection, in a nutshell, that graced the fourth day of the LFW.

In the designer's own words, it's "a beautiful culmination of elegance with modern chic and glamour".

Short dresses, evening gowns and vibrant colours took to the runway and Swarovski crystal embellishments were also used on certain designs. Take a look.

Nethra Raghuraman opened the show in this red sack dress with black lining and a little brooch that added a quaint touch.
