Check out Neeta Lulla's riotously bright and opulent ethnic creations, showcased on Day Four of Lakme.
For her latest offerings showcased at Lakme Fashion Week, veteran designer Neeta Lulla merged a form of Kalamkari called Sri Hastakala with the influences of the Renaissance period to create colourful contemporary bridals.
Velvet and French lace came together with vintage kundan and metal work and it was all about luxury as the show opened with a dance performance, after which Prachi Desai stepped onto the ramp in a rich embroidered anarkali.
