PIX: Would you wear clown-inspired clothing?

Here's what Abhishek Byas offered up at the opening show of Lakme on Day Four.

The good news is you don't have to be Lady Gaga to pull off this line.

And at the same time, the inspiration behind it is the clowns and jokers of Gotham comics. Here's how Abhishek Byas managed to transform his vision into wearable, chic outfits for his 'Never-the-less' collection.

Seen here is Sanea Shaikh in a wispy black and white dress with sheer striped leggings.
