Virginal whites from Vikram Phadnis

Prominent designer Vikram Phadnis left behind his love for colour and bridals on Day Four of the LFW -- here's a look at his very white collection, with just a hint of sparkle, black and beige thrown in.

The garments leaned for the most part towards Western and fusion wear, with just a few ethnic leanings here and there. Seen here is model Pia Trivedi in a wispy white sheer tunic and glimmering mini, topped off with gold sneakers for a sporty feel.

Casual cuts

White and gold crops set off a tank and creamy silk jacket.

Metallic domination

Silvery grey threadwork adorns this collared tunic with lacy puffed sleeves, but the eye-catching gold leggings dominate the outfit.

See-through style

White see-through chiffon peeks through a brocaded tunic and is teamed with casual white cut-offs.

Ethereal elegance

Black leggings offset the shimmering elegance of this cocktail with sparkling bodice.

Lounge look

A perma-pleated blouse sits well over wide-leg pants to create a lounge-y, casual look.

Lovely in lace

Phadnis sends out another becoming tunic, this time in pretty lace with traces of floral embroidery along the neckline.

Striking swirls

The focal point of this black-bordered strapless number is the beautifully billowing sleeveless shift jacket.

Straight 'n' staid

Luxurious touches are given a rest with this simple black and white ethnic outfit.

Sparkling lines

White, gold and shiny blue cascade into each other on a fitted little mini.

Rocking ruffles

Nicole Faria poses in a high ruff-at-the-neck dress with detailed, glimmering embroidery juxtaposed against a pale background.

Drifting, turning, whirling

Sailing out onto the runway is this one-shouldered gown, swirling attractively around the ankles.

Wardrobe of an empress

This empire-waisted ensemble, with its diamond-marked bodice in gold is worthy of a royal wardrobe.

Pulling a Madonna?

We see Pia once more, this time in a spiralling cone-bra kind of dress with dominatrix-style straps -- looks like something Madonna would have worn in the '80s, what say?

Flouncing feathers

Carol Gracias showcases the showstopper -- a gargantuan, feather-textured floor-sweeper.

Surrounded by his muses

Phadnis steps onto the runway as his models and the audience voice their approval.
