Here's what Masaba Gupta had to offer on Day Two of Lakme Fashion Week.

With her parents proudly watching from the front row, designer Masaba Gupta took us on a journey of African heritage at the LFW today.

Inspired by the Maasai tribe of Kenya and nothern Tanzania, her collection sported their foot impression
motifs and a riot of colour -- take a look.

First up we have Kavita Kharayat in gigantic polka dotes and orange.
