October 14, 2023 (IANSlife) Elaborate patterns, vibrant colours, and prints were predominant on day 3 along with equal proportion of layering and assymetrical silhouettes. Starting the day on a festive note, Bollywood actress Disha Patni walked for label Kalki in a heavily embellished gown. Keeping up with the celebratory vibe was label 'Not So Serious' by Pallavi Mohan who showcased textured gowns and dresses finished with ruffles, feathers and sequins. Miss Universe 2021 Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu opened the show for Mohan.

Up next were designer-duo Pankaj and Nidhi who are known for their exquisite hand-crafted detailing and modern design techniques. Their collection, ‘XV’ displayed powerful pieces in monochromatic tones in fabrics such as wool, silk and taffeta. Actress Dia Mirza walked for them wearing an asymmetrical jacket with cropped shirt and trousers, looking like a vision in white.

The highlights of Gauri and Nainika's Spring/Summer 2024 collection were bold prints, flouncy dresses, and voluminous skirts. Their love for everything vintage and feminine was evident on the runway, which included an abundance of floral designs and vibrant hues.

Resort wear favourites Shivan and Narresh showcased their collection in collaboration with Birkenstock. Swimwear in vivid prints, sheer separates and knitted tops were spotted at their show. The Delhi-based designers roped in Athiya Shetty and Rana Dagubatti to walk for them. They had a number of plus-size models displaying their designs, which indicates that their designs are made for all.

Amit Aggarwal, known for his hand-moulded polymers and luxurious layering, closed the day in his signature style. The show's standout elements included statement blouses, metallics, and the fusion of flow and sculpture. Actress Janhvi Kapoor walked for him dressed in a structured bustier and a ruched skirt.
