Designer Vikram Phadnis, who began his career as a fashion choreographer before finding his true calling as a designer, recently celebrated 35 years in fashion with a grand show that felt like a walk down memory lane.
From humble beginnings to dressing Bollywood's biggest stars, Vikram -- whose parents are doctors -- has carved his own niche.
The evening was a perfect tribute to his journey and it was attended by the who's who of the entertainment industry.
In a fitting finale, the designer's old time friend, Salman Khan, turned showstopper and walked the runway in his inimitable style.
Salman wore a black Vikram Phadnis sherwani that had gold and red floral embroidered motifs.
