Kanoi used white and blue to weave a tale with her creations.

Other colours used were black and variants of grey.

The checkerboard organza tail waistcoat made a great fashion statement and the final maxi with tape epaulets on hem was a stunning end to a great show.

While the inspiration for Sachdeva's designs waddled between history to machines and from architecture to anatomy, it kept the audience glued to their seats for its surprise element.
