While designers Amit Aggarwal and Masaba Gupta will open the fashion event with their individual lines, the five-day extravaganza will culminate with the grand finale show to be presented by couturier Manish Malhotra.

Says Gupta, "This will be, by far, my most sober collection till date, in terms of the treatment and the palette. Maxi saris will be the highlight of the line."
