Jewellery by designer sisters Kaabia and Sasha Grewal from their brand Outhouse; by Nitya Arora from her label Villiyan by Nitya; footwear by Rohan Arora and handbags from Second Skin by VEEV were all on offer.
Move on to the following pages to see cutting-edge pieces from all the accessory designers mentioned above!

We start off with the latest line from Kaabia and Sasha Grewal's label Outhouse called 'Leone d'Oro' -- inspired by the Golden Lion, the pieces had a marked African touch as the king of the jungle's face appeared on imposing pendants.
Seen here is just such a three-tiered creation, accompanied by a matching wrist cuff.
Next we see Sanea Shaikh in an eye-catching necklace that travels down the back and fastens onto a belt; she is also wearing earrings and a bracelet.
This neckpiece is far more intricate down the back, making for an attractive and unusual acquisition.
Deepti Gujral strikes a pose in a lovely collar necklace and matching wrist cuff sporting multiple hues.
Lion teeth come to the fore as Candice Pinto wears them on a bracelet, belt and one of two necklaces.
The designers give free reign to their imagination with this stunning studded umbrella, carried by Sucheta Sharma.
Sisters Kaabia and Sasha Grewal take to the ramp to mark the close of the Outhouse showing.
From her label Valliyan by Nitya, Nitya Arora launched the 'Nouveau Gypsy' collection, replete with cuffs, necklaces and earrings sporting enamel work, spikes and tassels.
Seen here is Alesia Raut in a rather regal neckpiece from the line.
It's all about fringe benefits with this chunky neckpiece, set off by a low neckline and earrings.
These spiked accessories are all about dangerous glamour and make quite a statement.
A gold bullet belt comes into focus, teamed with another of the designer's spiked neckpieces.
Sanea steps out in a precious stone-embellished hair accessory, while the necklace boasts of both tassels and spikes.
Nitya Arora takes to the runway, accompanied by model Deepti Gujral.
Called 'Item' and dedicated to the item girls and boys of Bollywood, Rohan Arora's latest footwear featured wedges with ghungroos (seen here), embroidered slip-ons edged with beads or bells and bright leather moccasins and lace-ups.
If you're man enough to wear pink, these loafers should be right up your alley.
Sanea Shaikh struts her stuff in a comfy and cute pair of beaded flats.
In contrast, Sucheta Sharma's emerald wedges are cutting-edge and quirky -- very Lady Gaga!
We see another pair in the same vein, but these have a floral motif all along the platform.
Rohan Arora takes to the runway with an unidentified colleague to mark the close of his show.
And finally we come to the latest Second Skin line of handbags by VEEV, which channeled timeless sophistication and perfect finishes.
Seen here is a posh quilted purse in tan with flashy metal hardware.
This smooth, structured orange bowler looks like it could double up as both a day and night bag.
Next we see a quilted brown purse with touches of black -- the ideal neutral carry-all.
And evening elegance is taken care of by this emerald clutch, small and chic.
