Actress Shriya Saran turned up as the showstopper. <br />Shriya Saran walked down the ramp wearing a navy blue dress with a stylishly draped stole, with sketches of artist Vaikuntam's portraits. Her hair was tied up, and she even wore a bindi to complete her look. <br />Marwa's collection, titled Moon Magic, was based on the theme of a modern gypsy. <br />"My collections are on theme of modern gypsy. The line is very wearable. I have used various prints and worked a lot with mirror work, shells and antique prints," she said here. <br />Marwa says her collection was inspired by her meeting with a real life gypsy woman. <br />"I had met a gypsy woman, and there was something charming about her. She had put together a look of a gypsy clothes and accessories sourced from different countries. Something about her appealed to me and inspired me," said Marwah. <br />The contemporary look promoted by the designer is aimed at portraying women as strong individuals. <br />The collection was replete with fitted pants, kurtas, skirts, shirts with Vaikuntam's paintings, hand-quilted jackets with floral prints and stoles.
