Manish Malhotra closed Day Four of the LFW with what he does best -- bridalwear -- and a star-studded audience looking on.
As Preity Zinta, Rani Mukherjee, Priyanka Chopra and other Bollywood belles looked on expectantly, their favourite filmi designer delivered true to form on the ramp.
Teaming up with cellular service provider Aircel, couturier Manish Malhotra began his showing with an impassioned plea about tiger conservation on behalf of his sponsors and then proceeded to put on a dazzling display in their signature colours -- red and blue.
Model Tinu Verghese opened the show with arms outstretched to reveal a wispy, flowing ghagara choli in all its free-flowing glory.
