Fashion weeks are not only about flaunting the best dresses, accessories or snazzy hairdos, they also represent the changing trends. Similarly, this year Lakme Fashion Week which is known for being coolest and 'trending' fashion events of the year has done another exceptional addition to this year 2016.

The 16th edition of LIFW circles around the idea of ‘breaking stereotypes’. This year where Kareena went regal for Rohit Bal, some of the most unconventional things happened for good.

Breaking all stereotypes of gender, size, age, transgender activist Laxmi Narayan Tripathi walked the ramp carrying the Indian saree.

A few days ago, supermodel Carol Gracias walking the Lakme Indian Fashion Week with a pregnant belly made us proud for the very elegance and acceptance that we all had.

“Internationally there are transgender models. I belong to ethnic transgender community. I belong to this country and inclusion beyond gender is important. I was quite happy being a part of this movement. Beauty is in beholders' eyes, body shape or gender don't matter to fashion. Beauty is beauty we are no one to judge,” Laxmi said.
