From virgin white to sensual colour: Anamika Khanna

Anamika Khanna's collection on Day Two of Lakme Fashion Week saw loungy, see-through creations of lazing beauty. The designer's inspiration was a dressed-down, gypsy girl who nevertheless "appreciates craft and heritage".

Wide-leg pyjamas, ganjis and sheer skirts sailed down the runway one after another in quick succession.

Seen here is a light shift with embroidery and a tucked hemline.

Model Surelee Joseph shows off her flat tummy in a short choli, coated with a rich zardosi jacket.

Candice Pinto struts her stuff in half a sari, draped over pyjamas and showing off a heavy pallav -- doesn't look as odd as it sounds, does it?

If you've got the gams for it, this thigh-skimming mini will create magic for you. The smocked see-through cape adds a nice touch.

Look sophisticated yet traditional in this gorgeous zardosi skirt, teamed with a careless dip-dye blouse.

This sleeveless embroidered cutwork kurta took everyone's breath away with its exquisite look.

Khanna continues with the zardosi trend, this time with a waistcoat that jazzes up her preference for pristine white.

None of the designer's outfits were clingy or form-fitting -- the emphasis, as is apparent from this dress, was on languid beauty.

Black chiffon see-through pyjamas with strategic slits on the leg raise a few eyebrows.

One-sided and flowing, a flash of orange lights up this wrap.

Statement accessories are ideal for outfits like this one -- the fancy long neckpiece is the centre of attention.

Intricate cutwork adorning the hem, a voluminous gold skirt steals onto the runway, teamed with nothing but a black cotton wrap.

Crushed muslin saris in citrus tones then make their way out...

Followed by another batch of the same, this time in deep earthy tones.

Surrounded by a miriad of whites, blues, greens and reds, Anamika steps out in a flowing white kaftan dress herself.
