Designer Priyadarshini Rao launched her label Mineral with a breezy spring/summer line at the LFW today.

Casual, wearable and feminine were the keywords for the latest offerings from Priyadarshini Rao.

Showcased on Day One of Lakme, the garments from her spanking new label 'Mineral' were created from fresh, natural fabrics and sported Western silhouettes for the modern woman. Take a look.

Kavita Kharayat starts things off in a white kurti and green leggings -- and we like the colourful touches on her shoulder and basket.

P(l)easant appeal

Next we have Nicole Faria, whose tousled hair and full lips complement her simple but pretty skirt and blouse combo.

Basic summer styles like this asymmetrical white skirt and fringe-embellished top go well together.

Going dotty

The tie-up shirt is making a comeback, so if you want to look as sexy as Sanea Shaikh in her dotted one, make sure your tummy is as flat and your legs as toned!

Pinafore pret

This is a checkered pinafore with a difference -- short in front and long behind! The yellow scarf and bubble border look cute.

Striding out in stripes

The designer sends out elastic-trim shorts and a dual-layered top with long sleeves and striped detail.

Haute hippie

It's a throwback to the '60s with this layered, multi-print maxi -- are you enough of a flower child?

Dazzling hues

Vibrant red and deep blue make for a great contrast on this skirt, while the top is suitably toned down in grey. But don't miss that sheer lace back!

Pocket it!

Citrus tones and a spray of fabric blooms win us over, with the brown shirt adding a retro touch once more.

Rao pales the colour palette off to grey and white with this chic ensemble, but can't resist another bright basket!

Play on pale

Candice Pinto shows off skintight ribbed pants, teamed with a tunic, ruffled shirt and matching boa. Like the look?

With a tiny muse in tow!
