Her eclectic range comprised jackets, blazers, dresses, jumpsuits, tops, shorts, skirts and kurtis -- each piece versatile enough to be worn as separates or sets.

The colour palette was fresh with pop hues such as acid pink, bright purple, mint, indigo, yellow and emerald green.

Balancing the bold shades were earthy tones that blended well on western style silhouettes which gave each of her creations an ethnic chic appeal.

Dayal also focused on contemporary designs such as the hooded jacket.

Fine detailing being the highpoint, the collection showcased free flowing designs graced by sequins featuring Indian motifs both in large as well as intricate forms along with exclusive unique block prints.

Fabrics like chiffon, silk and cotton were paired with contrasting prints to create that uber edgy appeal.

Dazzling dresses with a heavily embroidered neckline and scooped back was the diamond amidst her jewels.

Dayal's multi-hued line did its best to capture the Indian woman's spirit and soul -- bold, fun and free-spirited.
