Sports Illustrated Magazine launched its iconic annual Swimsuit Issue in Mumbai on June 14, with a sizzling swimwear fashion show by designer Ambika Sanjana -- take a look.
Although the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is officially launched in February each year and hits American stands around the same time, it was officially introduced in India only last week.
True to style, however, the publication hosted an event at a posh suburban five-star in Mumbai with models in beachwear from the label biKa Swimwqear by Indian-born swimwear designer Ambika Sanjana.
In the following pages, we bring you a glimpse of the designs on the runway, starting with this plunging blue tie-and-dye cutaway.
