10 things you need to know from day 5 of AICW

The last day of Amazon India Couture Week saw two shows from designers Manav Gangvani and Manish Malhotra. This year marks Malhotra's 25th year in fashion and the designer celebrated the milestone moment with an extravagant grand finale. Here's everything you need to know from day five of Couture Week:

1. Star power: Kangana Ranaut was the show stopper for Manav Gangwani while Aishwarya Rai Bachchan closed Manish Malhotra's grand finale.

2. European loves: Gangwani's collection titled 'L'Amoureuse' was a presentation of gowns. Manish Malhotra's 'The Empress' Story' was a new territory for the veteran designer who also showed a collection of Victorian- inspired gowns for the very first time on a couture runway.

3. New turf: Malhotra announced the launch of his store in London and a second one Dubai later this year.

4. The Setup: Manav Gangawani's runway made for a lengthy ramp—one that ensured every audience member got a close look at the garment detailing. Manish Malhotra's opulent set had elements of English roses, cut glass chandeliers and ramps for models to walk from one room to the other which was created by the Wedding Design Co.

5. Guestlist: Kalyani Saha, Riddhima Kapoor Sahani and Neil Nitin Mukesh were pesent at Manav Gangwani show. Manish Malhotra's grand finale was congregation of friends from the film and fashion industry—Pernia Qureshi, Imran Abbas, Aditi Rao Hydari, Natasha Poonawalla, Sophie Choudry, Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan sat front row amongst others.

6. Beauty at Manish Malhotra: The beauty look for the night was smoky burgundy with poker straight flat ironed hair pulled away from the face.

7. Friendship survives all: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been friends with Manish Malhotra for the last 22 years. The fact that she was suffering from a viral fever was not good enough reason for the star to cancel on walking the ramp for her dear friend celebrating a milestone.

8. Details: Malhotra's clothes were embroidered with birds and elaborate flowers.

9. Accessories: Valliyan by Nitya Arora created the belts for Manish Malhotra's collection.

10. It's a wrap: As couture week ended, the models after 5 days of clothes changes, hair and make-up runs and several rehearsals enjoyed a light moment after grand finale.
