IMAGES: Festive, feisty and fiery fashion!

In Part III of a series, we bring you some more ramp action from the ongoing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week!

Celebrity showstoppers, bikinis and minis -- the WLIFW has all that and more in store as it unfolds till October 12 in the Capital!

Here, we bring you a few more glimpses of the best designs that have been showcased on the runway!

We start off with the sexy stylings of Hemant and Nandita, whose collection 'Happily Unmarried', saw models catwalk in joyous and cheerful tones of oranges, blues and greys signifying freedom and liberty. Seen here is a floral bodysuit teamed with a sleeveless sheer blouse.

Bubbly blue

We loved this uber-chic dress with its bubble silhouette below the waist.

Back to nature

Next we have a sky and foliage print contour top with boy-shorts worn underneath.

Hint of sheer

Carol Gracias strikes a pose in a number with sheer bodice, a matching bustiere showing from underneath.

Be sexy

Hemant and Nandita wind down with another of their floral bodysuits, this time with matching print jacket.

Indo-Bohemian flavours

Kavita Bhartia introduced beautiful, colourful summer pieces with strong Bohemian flavours and the bright palette of a kaleidoscope, like this dip-dye bodysuit.

Colourful chic

Rachel Bayros shows off a gold encrusted corset and bubble hem skirt.

Kurta couture

We loved this sheer kurta with its splendid paisley embroidery.

Tunic talk

Bhartia tones things down with this grey-coral mix of draping tunic and tee.

Rajput-Victorian mix

Samant Chauhan used Rajputana zardozi hand embroidery fused with Victorian motifs to create elegant garments like this fusion ensemble.

Voluminous verve

A voluminous, wispy ghagara is set off by an exquisite jacket.

Surprise guest

Tom Alter was Chauhan's surprise showstopper, clad in a red military uniform with Tamara Moss in a bridal on his arm!

Constructed silhouettes, free drapes

Urvashi Kaur constructed silhouettes with free drapes (like the bodysuit shown here) and off-whites, timidly treated with pastel blues, pinks and browns to celebrate the season.

Mad about minis

This dip-dye cowl mini gets the thumbs-up!

Pleats to the max

The mini is replaced by a maxi in pleats, kissed by blue.

Psychedelic Opera

Nida Mahmood displayed a riot of colour with the models exuding geek chic.

Print overdrive

A quirky sari in a mishmash of prints makes its presence felt.

Upbeat edge

Mahmood showed no sign of a dulling palette -- dig these orange pants and green shirt!

Nymph in mauve

Joyjit Talukdar's 'Ela' line was ethereal and muted, like this asymmetrical mauve number.

Texture togs

Pale blue gets a workout with the many textures defining this sack dress.

Cutwork class

Feminine and pretty, this ivory-grey fusion is sure to be a hit with any lady.

Keep it white

Tinu Verghese was one of the first on the ramp for Rahul Reddy, who stuck to a strict palette of whites, faded browns and greys. Crisp, cool and chic were the keynotes of the collection.

Sleek and simple

This perfectly-cut jacket and bright sandals bring out the best in a delicate skirt.

Back to school

Tamara Moss is quite the schoolgirl in this dainty little number.

Flawed perfection

Standing up for crafts and tradition were Divyam Mehta's creations, beautifully handcrafted with 'honest errors' as the concept note put it. Seen here is an unusual pair of dhoti pants with suspenders.

Skinny jeans

And finally, we have Nethra Raghuraman showing off her long pins in skinny jeans and a flouncing blouse.
