In a throwback to the '70s and '80s, Archana Kochhar offered up cocktailwear in geometric digital prints at the LFW today.
Called 'Retro Metric', the line featured both Indian and Western silhouettes -- geometric printed cocktail saris, short tunics, dresses which sway becomingly and gowns with fluid drapes -- in dashing hues, with a distinct retro feel to them. What's more, the beautiful Sameera Reddy performed showstopping honours.
Seen here is a dip-back pleated skirt in attractive black and yellow, topped with a pretty ruffle-embellished top.

Next we see an alluring abstract print strapless, with a sheer black overskirt that adds drama.

It's time for a sari statement with this becoming printed drape, which adheres to the same palette.

Diva Dhawan steps out in a sheer sari embellished with diamonds and stripes; the choli features matching cutwork along the neck.

The designer breaks from her colour scheme with this flouncy ruffled skirt, teamed with a sequin-embroidered kurti.

A stunning black lehenga and white kurta worn over a bikini take centrestage.

The ethnic streak continues, with a striking green and black combination up next.

A classic shimmering black and white halter floats onto the runway.

A fading blue drape is up next, teamed with a long-sleeved choli for effect.

It's all about red carpet glamour with this gathered gown.

Sameera Reddy steps out in the showstopper, a lovely blue black and white affair.

Kochhar and Reddy pose for the flashbulbs together as the showing draws to an end.
