Designer Payal Singhal's show on the fourth day of the Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) was high on woman power with celebrities like ex-VJ Maria Goretti, actress Tejaswini Kolhapure and television host Parizad Kolah walking the ramp as show stoppers.



While Parizad was the first to sashay down the runway in an off-white gown, Tejaswini followed her in a dress that was a mix of a western gown and an Indian leghenga in the same color and finally came Maria dazzling in a sari.



"I am normally a jeans T-shirt kind of person. That's what I normally wear and when I am dressed up it's a kurta, so this for me was absolutely beautiful. I think bungy jumping didn't scare me as much as this did, but it was a great experience," Maria told IANS.

"I have never walked the ramp before, this is for the first time. It was very exciting. Earlier, I have seen Payal doing really funky stuff for me during my MTV days so this was a huge change," she added.



The collection, called Decadence, was primarily Indian. It was a tribute to Singhal's 10 years in the fashion industry and hence was an ensemble of the best selling and award winning pieces she has created in last one decade.

The colour palette ranged from pink, off-white, coral, aqua and navy blue and the fabrics used included a mix of crepes, satins, georgettes, tulles and brocades.
