IMAGES: Sequins, shorts and flirty flairs!
We bring you a round-up of showings by Babita M, Drashta and Rehane!
The second half of Day Four at Lakme continued in a glamorous vein, with plenty of feminine styles to appreciate. Here we bring you the best of Babita M, Drashta and Rehane.
We kick off with the cocktail collection by Drashta Sarvaiya, which was nothing if not colourful and vibrant, besides rating very highly on the wearability scale. Seen here is beautiful peach number with the model giving it a Marilyn Monroe-esque twirl.
Citrus and sequinned
Go short and hot with this electric citrus mini shining with sequins.
Purple pleats
Tiered and pleated, a purple mini garners a lot of eye-balls.
Fuschia fest
The designer offers up a fuschia pleated tantaliser set off with a summery yellow belt.
Bubblegum beauty
This bubblegum gown is so girly, it's almost Barbie-like in its appeal!
Taste of aqua
We see a switch in palette with this caped aqua dress, the hints of purple and white creating a pleasant contrast.
Under the sea
And finally, Drashta has this sea-shell and starfish embellished outfit for those with mermaid leanings!
Toga togs
Babita M offered up her 'Metal-Morphosis' line adorned with metal pieces, nuts, bolts, screws and metal sheets. The ramp was lit with sculptor Arzan Khambatta's metal installations as jackets, dresses, saris, tunics and palazzos sailed out. Seen here is an onion-pink one-sided toga gown.
Mix it all up
Various fabrics come together to create this hot look, with pleated halter and asymmetrical skirt.
Semi-sari
We see the return of the semi-sari, worn over leggings and matched with a super-short metallic bolero blouse.
Hanging loose
Alesia Raut models a dress with metal detailing and a graceful dipping drape at the back.
Tribal funk
There's something tribal about this one-sided handkerchief number in burgundy and black.
Empire-waisted elegance
Nicole Faria strikes a pose in an empire-waisted affair with sparkling metal embellishments at the bodice.
Fashionable finesse
Kalki Koechlin was Babita's showstopper, looking right at home on the catwalk in a grey crepe gown with embroidered multi-straps.
The purity of a woman
Chennai-based Rehane chose to debut an all-white line at the LFW, intended to embody the purity of woman. Created from raw mulmul and kora fabrics, the 'Meera' collection consisted of garments that were unfinished and in their 'trial' form, with chalk markings and tailors' alteration notes scribbled on them.
Seen here is a pair of shorts and a pleated blouson.
Stark standards
A stark asymmetric dress makes its way out next.
Drape dress
A single gentle drape creates a rather appealing silhouette despire the lack of colour.
Halfway through
An incomplete choli is teamed with a summery skirt.
Cowl to the extreme
With a unique cowl till the hips and a bow at the neck, Tamara Moss strikes a pose.
Day dress
And finally, we have another simple number, although this one looks slightly more finished!
