Mandira Bedi walks the ramp for Sofake at Lakme Fashion Week Winter / Festive 2012

‘Black is beautiful so embrace it’ – that was the theme of Black Velvet, a collection of all-black garments by Sapna Bhavani and Sukriti Grover’s label, Sofake, at Lakme Fashion Week.

The collection gave a huge thumbs-down to the use of fairness creams and proclaimed loud and clear that you don’t need to be fair and white to be lovely.

TV star and actress, Mandira Bedi, was the show-stopper for the show.
