Look how designer Stuti Shah lent a Indian touch with striking desi motifs to a curve-cinching halter-neck gown. Like it?

IMAGE: Perfect as daywear, Radhika Jindal's light hue, layered breezy numbers inspired from nature were indeed noteworthy.

IMAGE: And designer Disha Doshi Gandhi's collection titled 'Euphoria' saw a rich play of bright solid colours with prominent patchwork. We like!

IMAGE: Using 100 per cent raw silk woven in Varanasi and Bengaluru, Yoshita Yadav's Lucknow-inspired collection, was a vivid representation of motifs taken from Bara Imambara, Chhota Imambara and the Rumi Darwaza.
Which one appeals to you the most -- a fuschia pink gold embroidered lehenga with an off-shoulder choli, left, or a green halter-neck pleated gown?

IMAGE: Lending an edgy touch to the outfits, fashion label Rachat by Shruti and Rohan displayed an Indo-western collection that revolved around the personal emotions of an army girl. Sporty much?

IMAGE: Style is all that mattered to designer-duo Payal and Zinal.
Titled 'Ungender' -- a collection in which the person was much in focus than their gender -- they created a line of uber-cool, modern garments that both men and women of today would love to wear.

IMAGE: A brilliant display of chic western pret collection!
Designer Varija Bajaj's clothesline -- that was inspired by the uniforms of 'Super Heroes' -- had asymmetrical silhouettes, zippers, studs, rivets, lapels and laces as an integral part of her collection.

IMAGE: And Shalini Gupta's collection 'Majiska' reflected Indian heritage and craftsmanship.
Make your pick -- an Mukaish embroidered off-shoulder lehenga, left, or a six yards of grace intricate thread details?
