The creations from both labels were inspired by sponsor Lakme's latest Absolute Monochrome makeup line, a a collection of edgy, glam products that take up on the current colour-blocking trend, created in association with makeup expert Clint Fernandes.
To start things off, models showcased these latest offerings for eyes, lips and nails from Lakme clad in black jumpsuits.

The makeup presentation was followed by Kallol Datta's latest line called 'Cuts' from his label 1955, which featured four different signature prints -- faces, snails, mating and abstract safety pins.
Inspired by the black and white of the Lakme Absolute Monochrome range, the mix-and-match garments included voluminous skirts, slashed sleeves, long gowns with fabric tassels, giant choirboy collars with fabric edges, and tops with unbalanced tie-ups.
