Here's what Anita Dongre's 'Timeless' label had to offer on Day Three of Lakme.

Designer Anita Dongre's 'Love and Life' collection from her label 'Timeless' was all about summer -- cool, pastel and fluid.

The colour palette ranged from ecru to hints of rose and powder blue, while the garments consisted of everything from lehengas to evening gowns. Also on display were Benares weaves. Take a look.

Dipannita Sharma opened the show in this lovely flowing summer maxi.
