Here's what Little Shilpa (Shilpa Chavan), offered up on Day Two of the LFW.

Her outfits are known to be outrageous and true to form, Little Shilpa didn't disappoint at Lakme.

Her inspiration this time was the19th century book of poems Fleurs Du Mal (Flowers of Evil) by Charles Baudelaire. The showing kicked off with a fashion film by the designer and then the creations took their turn on the ramp, intending to signify a sense of deception, decadence and debauchery -- note the hearts, flowers and clean lines on this one.
