Here are the hot new models who will be gracing the ramp at Lakme Fashion Week later this month.
They're bold, they're beautiful and they're raring to go!
We bring you a first look at the new faces (and bods!) that made it through the tough-as-nails LFW auditions and will now be strutting their stuff at the LFW.
Lekha Raman
This 23-year-old hottie was born in Mumbai and then brought up in Pune. But she's shifted base back to the city to pursue her modelling dreams.
'Miss Sexy Legs'

Bryndis Helgadottir
Image: Bryndis HelgadottirLakme is also known to feature a host of international beauties. And one of them is 21-year-old Bryndis from Iceland.
Old-world glamour

Reha Sukheja
Image: Reha SukhejaNext we have Reha Sukheja, who stands tall at 6'1" and looks poised to make a statement at Fashion Week.
Born in Kolkata, she is now settled in Hyderabad and currently pursuing her BA in Economics from Fergusson College, Pune. Reha got into modelling by chance. Her mother enrolled her for the 'I Am She' beauty pageant where she won the position of first runner-up.
'I keep myself healthy and fit by working out two hours a day'
Image: Reha SukhejaThis 20-year-old looker is not only genetically gifted, but also is a budding poet. She loves listening to music and likes to party hard too!
Quiz her about her good looks and perfect figure and she says, "It may sound cliched but I am a total foodie! I love eating but I keep myself healthy and fit by working out two hours a day." An effort that certainly seems to be paying off!
Sophia Dgneid
Image: Sophia DgneidThis 18-year-old from the Ukraine can also be expected to give our Indian lovelies competition at Lakme.
Teenage talent
Image: Sophia DgneidSophia may not be old enough to drink, but she's already a pro in front of the camera. With her Indian looks she's sure to carry off ethnicwear perfectly!
Angela Jonsson
Image: Angela JonssonYou may remember this hottie from her stint with the Kingfisher Calendar 2011. Angela was winner of the 'Hunt for the Kingfisher Calendar Girl 2011' and her modelling career is absolutely going places!
Icelandic-Indian ancestry
Image: Angela JonssonThe 18-year-old's exquisite features are thanks to her mixed Icelandic-Indian ancestry. Alabaster skin and delicate features -- the perfect mix!
Rikee Chatterjee
Image: Rikee ChatterjeeWith her coal-tinted eyes and full pout, Rikee Chatterjee is no stranger to the fashion scene.
The 5'11" looker has been on the scene for awhile, having worked the ramp for big names like Rocky S, Manish Malhotra and Vikram Phadnis. While she has had stints at fashion weeks in Chennai, Bangalore and Kolkata this is her first at Lakme.
'Miss Fresh Face'
Image: Rikee ChatterjeeRikee also embarked upon her modelling career with success at beauty pageants.
She won the second runner-up title at the Dabur Gulabari Miss Fresh Face of Hyderabad contest in 2009 and was also honoured as 'Best Ramp Model' during the Femina Miss India South audition rounds this year.
