PIX: Would you wear clown-inspired clothing?

Here's what Abhishek Byas offered up at the opening show of Lakme on Day Four.

The good news is you don't have to be Lady Gaga to pull off this line.

And at the same time, the inspiration behind it is the clowns and jokers of Gotham comics. Here's how Abhishek Byas managed to transform his vision into wearable, chic outfits for his 'Never-the-less' collection.

Seen here is Sanea Shaikh in a wispy black and white dress with sheer striped leggings.

Next we have a checkered jacket that reveals a hint of navel, worn over a striking black and white skirt -- note the comic prints.

Red, silver, wispy white and a touch of blue create an electric effect on this asymmetrical outfit.

Nicole Faria gets her groove on in this contoured ensemble.

Whipped into a mass of ruffles, this cocktail is pretty edgy.

The designer offers up a mishmash of prints with this well-cut dress.

Silhouettes get tapered down to closer fits with this ruff-edged one-sided number.

Want to make a loud statement? This colourful one positively screams!

The piece de resistance is this tiered and rouched gown, complete with bustle.
