Here's what Sabah Khan's spring/summer 2011 line at Lakme was all about.

Tuk Tuk.With a name like that, you can well guess the inspiration behind Sabah Khan's latest offerings!

The bright-coloured posters on the inside of rickshaws, the earthy colour of uniforms, the prominent curve of the vehicle and the simplicity of the rikshaw wallah have been incorporated into the garments. Take a look.

We start with Candice Pinto in a multiprint bolero, tee and statement-making yellow dhoti pants.
