Tarun Tahiliani, the high priest of Indian fashion, will not be presenting his collection at the on-going fashion week.
However, the designer behind one of the country's most coveted fashion labels, presented an offsite show last evening, in what proved to be a fitting kick-off to the Lakme India Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2013.
This elegant black-on-white anarkali generated a lot of interest.
Tahiliani combines vibrant colours panels in a free-flowing, seemingly simple design.
Using materials well-suited to the Indian weather conditions, Tahiliani creates an interesting semi-formal look for men.
Global styles with an Indian soul are the hallmark of this collection.
