Fashion: Chanderi weaves get a trendy twist

Take a look at designer Vaishali S' collection, showcased on Day Four at Lakme.

Dolls, boats, paper planes and balls.

Vaishali S drew on pleasant memories from her childhood to create her line 'Virus Free' for spring/summer 2011.

With Chanderi as her base fabric, the designer wove wonderful garments using draping, folding and fabric stitching that reminded her of a few of her favourite childhood things.

Here, Kavita Kharayat shows off a chic kurta and relaxed pocketed pants.

Polka-dot pretty

Next we have Sanea Shaikh in shorts and matching polka-dot halter and overlay.

Hint of ruffle

See-through and summery, we love this ruffle-trim asymmetrical number.

A taste of mauve

We then move to this wrap outfit, showing off matching shorts and top beneath.

On the black track

The designer offers up a slit top in ribbed black with stand-alone gold stripes.

City sophisticate

A pleated number and matching jacket are jazzed up with a neckscarf.

Breezy muse

Black makes its presence felt once more, this time with metallic hints.

Jacket-dress mix

Nicole Faria carries off a see-through jacket dress.

Beauty in blue

We love this waifish, asymmetrical blue ensemble, with its busy gold lines.
