Here's a look at the Chivas Studio fashion shows held in Mumbai over the weekend -- and the first style trends for this year!
Luxury brand Chivas Regal held their second annual Chivas Studio, a three-day event in Mumbai over the 14, 15 and 16th of January, showcasing the latest in art, photography, sculpture, jewellery, music and fashion.
Prominent designers Manish Malhotra, Nandita Mahtani and brand Etro held showings, with the who's who of the social circuit in attendance. Check it out.
Day One kicked off with the Etro showing -- chic Western wear modelled by some of India's biggest catwalk queens like Carol Gracias, seen here in a form-fitting, silk trim dress and platforms.
