A Bengali collection was showcased by emerging designer Soumyadeep Dutta. The Kolkata-based designer's show was followed up by the label Pot Plant by designer duo Resham Karmchandani and Sanya Suri, who showcased menswear and womenswear in their latest range.

Another budding designer, Nakita Singh, showcased her collection inspired by sketching and her line was titled Outline.

Varun plants a surprise kiss

While walking the ramp for Kunal Rawal, Varun went ahead and planted a surprise kiss on Sonakshi's cheek as she was sitting in the audience.

Arjun-Sonakshi avoid each other

While Varun was all pally with Sonakshi, Arjun, who was said to be dating the actress, avoided her. Arjun is said to have made an entry at LFW 2017 after Sonakshi left and their seats too were miles away from each other.

Varun-Arjun bromance

One could see some bromance brewing between Arjun and Varun in the pictures. The duo complemented each other on the ramp and even, had a fun time with Kunal at the fashion show.
