PICS: The seduction of Dark Angels at Fashion Week!

Strong, confident divas in dramatic designs sashayed down the ramp for Jatin Varma on the first day of Lakme Fashion Week.

The designer has given his usual feminine fare a rest and decided to showcase a fierce glam line with strong accents like power shoulders and chains, as well as Gothic undertones and hints of bling.

Strong cuts and deep tones like midnight blue, stone grey, wine and deep purple defined most of the garments, like this hot little cocktail modelled by Sucheta Sharma.

This sequinned cocktail seems rather inspired by the '20s, what with its retro silhouette and tasselled detailing.

Sanea Shaikh stuns in this shimmering backless gown, complete with train.

Crusted over in deep red sequins, a short and hot number takes to the ramp.

The designer continues with the same palette, adding on brass work and feathered texture.

Sharp power shoulders and a deep shade of blue define this cutting-edge cocktail.

Deepti Gujral truly looks the part of a dark angel in this see-through ensemble that offers a glimpse of her sexy curves.

Following suit we have Alesia Raut, in another daring sheer-panelled gown with fringed layers.

Jatin stepped out only briefly, flanked by Alesia and Deepti, before retiring into the wings.
