Calling her collection 'Notes from The Raj', Payal Kapoor showcased a vivacious line of Indo-Western festive garments at the LFW today.
The designer used specially woven fabrics from Benares, paying tribute to the craftsmen of that city, to create halters, maxi skirts, peplum blouses, layered lehengas and kaftans in shades of green, nude, black and wine.
What's more, TV personality Mini Mathur closed the show in a ravishing showstopper.
Here's a look at the offerings from Kapoor's line, starting with Alesia Raut, sporting lovely beach curls as she models a paisley kaftan worn over churidaars.
Fusion funk comes to the fore with this curious mix of ethnic pants and asymmetric kurta/dress.
A mermaid skirt with twinkling leaf embroidery is worn with a frilly one-shouldered top.
A stunning anarkali embellished with gold dominates the runway.
Deepti Gujral is quite the desi dazzler in an encrusted choli and sheer drape.
Kaftan couture comes to the fore with this paisley design in wine.
Sheer Patiala pants set off a beautiful embroidered kurta with cutwork detailing.
Sucheta Sharma sizzles in a nude sari with fuschia trim.
