PIX: Trendy African-inspired fashion from Masaba

Here's what Masaba Gupta had to offer on Day Two of Lakme Fashion Week.

With her parents proudly watching from the front row, designer Masaba Gupta took us on a journey of African heritage at the LFW today.

Inspired by the Maasai tribe of Kenya and nothern Tanzania, her collection sported their foot impression
motifs and a riot of colour -- take a look.

First up we have Kavita Kharayat in gigantic polka dotes and orange.

Short and flirty

Flaired and flirty we have this striking blue and orange number.

Sari inspiration

Rich purple, orange and blue make for a toga-meets-sari mix -- we like!

Striped stunner

The fitted form, vibrant colour and cut-away back on this one give it that added edge.

Footing it right

We see the Maasai footprint motif on this one-piece, ending in voluminous pants.

Fitted to flowing

The unusual headpiece here still doesn't take away from the beauty of the bustier and flowing skirt.

Funky fashion

We love this statement dress on Candice Pinto -- chic and eye-catching!

Drape drive

Layered and contrasting, the draping of this ensemble sets it apart from the rest.

Daring to bare

Sanea Shaikh strikes a pose in a daring gown with cut-away neckline and transparent skirt.

Namaste!

Masaba steps out in one of her own creations as her models applaud her.
