Fashion designer and winner of Vogue Fashion Fund, Dhruv Kapoor took inspiration from the Victorian era for his collection which was a celebration of women.

An amalgamation of the past and the present, his collection had a mix of evening wear and sports garments.

The fabrics were made by the designer himself and featured modern materials like plastic, nylon, polyester and faux fur.

Rimzim Dadu's show was exceptional because the fashion designer brought her weavers along, and let the participants interact with them.

The designer returns to the runway after a gap of two years and she was open to encouraging people to take a closer look at the work that goes into an outfit.

She played mostly with black and grey, and introduced chiffon cording and fabric created out of wires in her collection.

Scroll down to see the different looks from Dhruv Kapoor and Rimzim Dadu's collections.

Image: All set to jazz up the night! The designer played with silver metallic colours and bomber jackets in the evening wear section.

Image: Models dressed in trench coats and mini skirts graced the ramp, with boots that matched the look. Metallic embellishments were thrown into the outfit to add a hint of bling. Check out the next pic...

Image: The metallic sequins and lace add the much needed contrast to the otherwise pale outfit.

Image: The designer kept the accessories minimal so that the focus would be on the outfits. Extraordinarily long sleeves, unfinished hemlines and slouchy jackets were the highlights of this collection.

Image: It's interesting to see how the designer has used lace; a cross between edgy and feminine fashion. Fur was used to add an element of luxury to the collection.

Rimzim Dadu

Image: Saris with metallic surfaces, metallic silhouettes and 3D appliques were the highlight of the collection.
