Take a look at the Indian influence on the NYFW runway.
It started with acid attack survivor Reshma Qureshi walking the New York Fashion Week Spring 2016 ramp.
She was joined by Sunny Leone, who became the first Bollywood celeb to strode the NYFW runway.
Close on Sunny's heels was Maharashtra Chief Minister's wife Amruta Fadnavis who walked at NYFW in handloom.
Then there were fashion brands like Banana Republic, who looked up to India for inspiration for its collection -- the focus was on craftsmanship and detail.
The result: pyjama-inspired paisley printed separates, laser-cut detailing and tunics worn over pants.
Take a look at the Indian influence on the NYFW runway.
