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.
