Here's a glimpse of on and off-ramp action at the India Kids Fashion Week held in Mumbai last week!
From January 16 to 18 last week, tiny tots had a ball strutting their stuff for high-end designers at the India Kids Fashion Week.
From cheeky tees to flouncing dresses and 'cool' bermudas, the children were decked up to the nines and the centre of attention in what was undoubtedly the cutest fashion do of the year.
Big names like Rocky S, Narendra Kumar and Zoop by Titan also featured on the schedule and celebrities along with their own little ones turned out to add glitz to the affair -- take a look.
Here we have Sushmita Sen in the background, cheering on her daughters Renee and Alisah as they modelled adorable outfits by Nishka Lulla.
