Name: Jaya Wadhwa

Age: 22

Job: I am a therapist by profession.

Her look

I am wearing a Zara Sequin top and a grunge tassled skirt from Koovs.

And I'm wearing socks, which are kind of Happy socks, but not really the same brand :) and my shoes are from Forever 21.

The socks add funk to the whole outfit.

My look is funky and edgy with a bit of femininity.

Style mantra

Well I've been told that I always dress like an immaculate diva. While I'd agree with that observation, I'd rather think of myself as the sophisticated kind.

Isabel is studying second grade and loves school. She likes to dress up only sometimes when she can do her own look like she has done today.

Sabrina is a consultant coach with McKenzie USA and also does interior design. She happened to be at Lakme Fashion Week by chance. She was here to attend the sangeet ceremony of a wedding in the family.

Her look

I am not wearing anything that is mine. I have borrowed this outfit from my sister-in-law which she wore for her sangeet. I was very excited when she said I could borrow it.

I didn't know that there was a fashion week going on here. But looking at the well dressed people here I now know about it and I am glad I am here at this time.

Style mantra

My mantra is: 'less is more' although that is not the Indian way!

And yet again, 33-year old Nikita Kala, a fashion stylist from New Delhi impressed us with her quirky sense of style.

Her look

On the final day, I wanted something classy, yet fun. I am wearing a Bailou sari with a crop top that I have styled. I have teamed it with a pair of jeggings from Zara. The neck piece is handcrafted from brand EnIndea. The shades are from Vogue.

I got the earpiece from a flea market in Goa about 8-9 years ago. I still love it so much. The pumps are from Zara. The whole look would be around Rs 21,000.
