Mumbai: Designer Rocky S opened the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai on Tuesday afternoon. Known as one of Bollywood's favourite designers Rocky S roped in actor John Abraham to walk the ramp.
The designer's line moved away from his earlier collections with the look being very feminine.
Inspired by the film Lolita, Rocky's designs centred around sensuality and innocence.
Plunging necklines, body hugging corsets, a lot of crystal work and intricate lace work coupled with embellishments found its way to Rocky's collection.
The line also sported a varied colour palette. The highlight of the show was actor John Abraham's appearance on the ramp after a three-year break.

Mumbai: The Fashion Week is not just about models and designers. It also includes Bollywood in good measure. CNN-IBN correspondent Hindol Sengupta bumped into filmmaker Karan Johar at the event and asked him about his fashion mantra.
Johar said that Surily Goel’s show was "Great fun with lots of glamour and glitter. And Salman at the end of the show was a big surprise."
As Bollywood designers are moving into mainstream fashion, Johar said that Goel is "very talented and her work is already talked about in the film fraternity."
"As a friend and as someone who treats her like a kid, I wish her all the best," he added.
When asked about his personal fashion statement, Johar said, "I wear things that are comfortable. There is no one particular designer that I go for but being comfortable is my style. I like shopping and wearing new things everyday."
But, when it comes to designing for his films, Johar seems quite choosy. "I would love to work with all kinds of designers but I am very happy working with Manish Malhotra currently."
"Manish has been a part of my work and has contributed immensely to my cinema," Johar said.
Though, Johar loves to work behind camera, he feels that he should not walk the ramp.
"To walk the ramp there are certain pre-requisites like a certain height, body and walk which I don’t have," he joked.
