Rajesh Karkera/Rediff.com bid adieu to three beautiful ladies on the last day of Lakme Fashion Week, but not before learning some personal style lessons from them.
***
Nashpreet, Model
What do you do?
I am a model.
What are you wearing?
My dress is a Urvashi Joneja design. She had a show on the Day 2 of LFW.
What does fashion mean to you?
Well, I'm not a very fashionable person; I like to be comfortable. So, anything comfortable as well as looks good, is fashion to me.

Nimisha Desh, Student, NIFT Mumbai
Where are you from?
I am from Mumbai. My mom and dad are from Bihar. I was born in West Bengal and then brought up in Mumbai.
What are you wearing?
Well, I didn't think about it. I just picked it up and put this together before I left home :)
It's casual wear, which I styled with boots from Steve Madden.
I'm wearing like ribbed white shorts from H&M and an off-shoulder black top from Zara.
I like wearing black a lot.
My dad got this bag for me.
What is fashion to you?
Fashion is something which makes you feel comfortable. I wouldn't choose fashion over comfort.
I like wearing things which I am comfortable in.

Gabriella Demetriades, Designer from Cape Town, South Africa.
I have made Mumbai my home for nine years now; I just love the city.
What are you wearing?
I am wearing Burberry boots, Stella McCartney pants and a top and jacket from my own label called Deme.
What is fashion to you?
Fashion is a very personal thing. I think it's a feeling. It's your own sense of experimentation.
I'd like to think that there are no rules when it comes to fashion. But I guess there are a lot of rules that are put on us.
I just like to have fun with it.
