Celebrated designer Rocky S brought Day Three of the LFW to an opulent close with a great mix of old world charm, the gothic punk look and Bollywood heavyweight John Abraham. The focal point of the collection was definitely the classic suit -- Rocky aspired to present menwear that would be right at home at a vintage vampire wedding! Was he inspired by the hit Twilight movie series, glorifying imaginary bloodsuckers and their romances? Looks like it.
The show opens with a seductress in gleaming gold, her loose tresses and gladiator heels exuding a menacing air. Wife of Dracula? Could be!

Metallic metrosexual
Conventional formals top off metallic pants, complete with patent bag and kohl-rimmed eyes.
Slinky slits
Pia Trivedi shows off her long legs in a blingy gown slit thigh-high; the Mary Janes on her feet add a nice touch.
Men accessorise in a new direction
A cool dude shows off straight-fit velour pants and glimmering scarf over a steel jacket. But is that a pounch in his hand -- or a clutch? If it's the latter, that's the first time we're seeing it on a man!
Embroidered cuffs
Creamy linen is styled into a dapper suit, complete with ornate embroidery on the cuffs.
Lacy layers
Model Binal Trivedi wears a peachy layered lace affair, with a funky necklace innovatively draped over
Gunning for gold
Jazz up in this rich embossed gold jacket, worn over a ribbed shirt -- although we're not so sure about all those chains, especially with the cross on them! Aren't vampires supposed to be wary of all things holy?
Razzmatazz
If you don't shy away from dazzling everyone in sight, this grey suit with its gold detailing should be just right.
Strapped and striped
Flat-front pants and a matching pin-striped jacket are strapped in by Rocky's by now trademark chains. The bright blue tie is refreshing.
Punky pret
The hairdo on this model steal away from the outfit, but otherwise the sheen-tinged pants and velvety jacket are a bit of an overkill.
Lock in on those lapels
Yes, that's right -- that's lace on those lapels. So now we have metrosexual vampires too!
Starting up at the collar
The designer delivers another unique creation, this time with pleats starting at the collar and running down the neck.
Queen of the dark
Carol Gracias plays the vamp in an overly-ruffled floor-sweeping number, showing off her shapely gams.
Dressed to kill -- and the ladies are dying!
Now there's a guy any girl would want to get her hands on, bloodsucker or not! Bollywood hunk John Abraham is dressed to kill and takes to the runway amidst thunderous applause.
Brothers in arms
John and Rocky soak in all the adulation as the final show for Day Three draws to a close.
