Curtains came down on the Lakme Fashion Week Winter-Festive 2013 season with Sabyasachi Mukherjee's magnificent show. Was it his best show yet? Take a look and decide for yourself! Here are the highlights:

The master couturier, Sabyasachi Mukherjee brought the curtains down on the Lakme Fashion Week on Tuesday night in style. Mukherjee's runway, like most of his previous ones, transported you to a different era with its vintage ambience.

Twinkling bulbs covered the ceiling while mirrors lined the backdrop and silver pillars seemed to evoke the mood of a classy gentleman's club.

As always, it was a pleasure to watch Indrani Dasgupta as she walked the runway in this luxurious crystal choli and a pair of sunglasses.
