PIX: Peek-a-boo dresses, cute purses!
We bring you a round-up of showings by Sabah Khan, Sougat Paul and more!
The first half of Day Five at Lakme saw plenty of pretty outfits with cut-away detailing and accessories galore. Here are the best runway picks from 'SOUP' by Sougat Paul, Nimish Shah's label 'Shift', Rohan Arora, Shagufta Quamar, Atithi Gupta and 'Sabashe' by Sabah Khan.
We start off with Sougat Paul's offerings from label SOUP -- his latest line is inspired by Spanish director Pedro Almodovar's movies and incorporated themes like style, drama and colour. Seen here is a pretty evening dress in steely grey.
Textured tantaliser
A sexy little mini makes its way out next, with blue texturing against a white background.
Cocktail class
The designer offers up a classy plunging number with gathered waist and delicate ruffles cascading down.
Black beauty
Candice Pinto looks stunning in this one-sided ribbed affair.
Fancy threads
One of Paul's final entries is modelled by Nicole Faria -- a black lace-lined beige silk bustier that moves into a woven skirt.
Spiritual accessories
Handbag designer Shagufta Quamar worked around the theme of spirituality for her latest collection -- 'Moksha: The Pursuit of Inner Peace' consisted of earthy tones and prints of the Buddha and Krishna on carry-alls.
Lotus look
The lotus is a Buddhist symbol and is incorporated into this cute round purse.
Mystic messenger
Featuring a mysterious hand bathed in light, this messenger is sure to pull off any boho outfit.
Serene style
And finally, this blue tote features a golden image of the Buddha.
The beautiful female form
Called 'Side-an' (which translates as 'the beautiful female form' in Irish), Atithi Gupta's new collection targets the stylish global woman. Seen here is a unique cut-away jumpsuit featuring pleated crops.
Easygoing drape
Alesia Raut models an easygoing drape dress with pleating detail and sparkling touches.
Sheer oomph
With a plunging sheer neckline, this sexy rouched number makes quite a statement.
Wine tones
Warm and rich, the wine-coloured tone of this asymmetrical outfit and its peek-a-boo neckline add up to a winner.
Mesmerise in black
Gupta's piece-de-resistance, in rouched black with amazing cutwork, gets two thumbs-up.
Paying tribute to tailors
Sabah Khan's label Sabashe paid homage to the tailor. Called 'Darzi', eye-catching accessories like scissors, the needle and thread, sewing machines and hangers complemented the garments, which consisted of Indo-Western silhouettes. Seen here is Alesia Raut in a tiered green and ivory maxi with black border.
Burgundy flavour
A pleated lehenga-like skirt and striped choli take to the runway.
The right balance
Fluid and voluminous, a pair of funky salwaars set off a fitted tunic with exaggerated sleeves.
Flirty femme
Nicole looks lovely in this flirty green flaired number.
Sari stripes
Surelee Joseph makes an entrance in a simple sari with striped detail, which winds down Khan's showing.
French influence
Nimish Shah's label Shift presented a new line influenced by French filmmaker Jacques Tati. Casual, comfortable and chic, the garments had that hint of European sophistication to them, like this paisley dress.
Of collars and pockets
An interesting tunic shows off a contrast collar and front pockets.
Urbane edge
The designer combines a sophisticated jacket with a soft floral skirt.
Ready for travel
Complete with a carry-all, a simple beige number with floral print and sweater tied on is perfect for the travelling fashionista.
Suspender story
Tamara Moss channels old European charm with a pair of bermudas, suspenders and a sweater.
Fancyfree footwear
Footwear designer Rohan Arora's collection consisted of handmade shoes with touches of glamour and quirky kitsch. Called 'Leela', the line featured everything from corduroy with block and screen prints to chicken-leg and sheepskin leather, pure satin for uppers and mahogany wood for heels. Seen here is a funky pair of men's lace-ups.
Sophisticated heels
For the ladies, we see a pair of becoming heels in pink and blue with cut-away panels.
Beaded and bright
This blue and red bead-lined pair will make you a real hotstepper!
Wonderful wedges
