We caught up with some nattily dressed ladies at the Lakme Fashion Week and quizzed them about their sense of style. This is what they had to say

Khushboo Lahori is a budding designer who likes to wear her personal creations and team them up with fancy brands! The end effect, we think, is pretty cool.

Tights and psychedelic top: Her personal creations

Shoes from Charles and Keith: Rs 2,000

Keeping it simple

Mix-n-Match

Jyoti Gwalani was difficult to miss as she walked casually past us. The Mumbai-based entrepreneur was wearing what seemed like a dress made out of a sari and a stunning neckpiece that made us turn around in wonder.

Neckpiece made out of zippers by Suhani Pittie: Rs 6,500
