Lakme Fashion Week: Arpita Mehta’s silky vibe

Actress Kriti Sanon started her career as a model and she says it gave her the confidence to pursue movies.

The 27-year-old was the showstopper for designer Arpita Mehta on the final day of the Lakme Fashion Week.

“It has been a great journey from being model to a celebrity showstopper. It is nice to come back to the ramp and meet a lot of my friends. The backstage madness and the adrenaline rush is still the same,” she said.

“When I was modelling, I always knew I wanted to be an actor. Modelling groomed me for acting and gave me a lot of confidence. I always used to dream about being a celebrity showstopper,” Sanon added.

Mehta’s collection, titled Midnight Muse, was crafted in silk, chiffon, Tabi silk and georgette moulded into sensual, feminine silhouettes.

Embellishments were the highlight on the garments, as an assortment of thread work, 3D appliques, along with sequins dazzled on the creations.
