Runway regular Malaika Arora Khan turned muse of Delhi-based designer Mandira Wirk's Amazon India Fashion Week 2016 collection "Romancing Rococo". Malaika, 42, who stunned in a black and beige gown, was excited to walk for her good friend.

"I have always loved Mandira's work. This collection is beautiful and the best part is it's so feminine. She is a good friend and a great designer. I have always admired her work and a lot of her creations are part of the wardrobe. Apart from walking for her, I am coming back to Delhi fashion week after years. It's always a pleasure to be here," Malaika told reporters post the show.

The collection brings out the elegance and asymmetry of the 18th-century artistic movement of Rococo and takes cue from the curlicues motifs and embellishments of the iconic era.

Rococo movement's art, architecture and grid work were the prime sources of inspiration to which Wirk gave a modern day expression.

"My collection captures the sentiment of Rococo movement which emerged as revolution surpassing the Baroque designs. The designs are not over the top and gimmicky. It has very peculiar delicateness and I feels having Malaika as my muse is the best I could ask for. No one can carry off the romantic curves of Rococo as beautifully as her," the designer said.

The entire collection was created in the palette of ivory and gold, black and beige as well as grey, maroon, pink, blue and red. There was a lot of interplay between sheer and opaque fabrics. Bold cut-outs and statement backs dominated the whole range.

The collection was full of easy and wearable separates ranging from constructed jackets to paneled palazzos and layered Anarkali's. The highlight of the show was pre-draped nine-yard sari's having both feminine touch and contemporary appeal.
