Fashion Week Day 4: Bold Colours, Alien Empresses and Soft Femininity

LG Fashion Week attendees were in for a treat this afternoon if they saw the Vibgyor (the name, pronounced veeb-gee-or, is a backwards acronym of the colours of the rainbow).  Based in Mumbai, India, Vibgyor is making its North American debut in Toronto.
