LFW: Amalraj checkmates us on the catwalk!

Here's what Amalraj Sengupta showcased at Lakme Fashion Week on Day Four.

Using a black and white palette, designer Amalraj Sengupta brought to life his collection 'In the Game of Chess' on the LFW ramp today.

Flaps, layers, pleats, pin tucks for both the men and women's garments created a kind of futuristic feel, while the fabrics -- cotton, linen, silk, organza, satin and chiffon -- were hand-picked for summer.

We start off with this backless number sporting a unique backless cut.

Panelled pret

For the guys, we have this white and beige mix panelled shirt with minute pleating at the sleeves and down either side of the torso.

Play on pale

With its high collar and asymmetrical hemline, this dress stands out.

Men in black

Acquin Pais switches the palette with a black jacket and carryall.

Puff it up

Exaggerated puffed sleeves and contoured hips define another all-white outfit.

Futuristic funk

This zippered jacket certainly looks straight out of Star Wars!

Feminine finesse

The designer opts for a softer look with this more delicate ensemble.

Samurai style

Doesn't it look inspired by the armour of the historic Japanese warriors?

Working the weave

Preeti Dhata models the showstopper -- a woven dress with sharp-sleeved bolero.

Diminutive designer

Sengupta steps out to bring his chess game to a close.
