Pria Kataaria Puri's HOT Persian princesses!

Indo-western silhouettes, bright colours and a return to the '80s look marked the designer's latest collection.

On Day Three of the Winter-Festive 2011 edition of Lakme Fashion Week, designer Pria Kataaria Puri showcased her latest collection -- Persian Punk. The collection -- as the name suggested -- sought inspiration from the Persian culture.

It has been a couple of seasons since we saw jumpsuits doing the rounds amongst the audiences at the Lakme Fashion Week. Should Puri have her way, they'd probably make a comeback.

Back to the '80s

Saying it with a gown

Long flowy silhouettes like this one were as prominent in Puri's collections as the figure-hugging bandage dresses and hotpants.

Some like it hot

Tight fitting Hotpants have been a rage with the LFW audiences. A model shows off this sexy outfit that seems to look like a figure-hugging mini jumpsuit.

Standing out

Finally, Alesia Raut poses in this charming mini number a little before the showstoppers walk in.

What am I doing here?!?

A man closing a woman's collection? Well, apparently so! Actor Arjan Bajwa walked the ramp wearing a serious look.

Striking a pose

Actress Neha Sharma walked in soon after, sporting this figure-hugging off shoulder mini.
