Quirky, edgy, colourful: Kallol at the LFW

Here's designer Kallol Dutta's collection from the Future of Fashion showing at the LFW today.

Known for his fascination with the macabre, Kallol Dutta came up with a typically distinct and unusual line at the Future of Fashion showing at Lakme Fashion Week today.

Using vibrant hues, he used the themes of jailstripes, checks and illustrations to adorn constructed silhouettes created from fabrics like Swiss voile, Habutai, net and kora. Take a look.

We start off with this jacket dress in charcoal and yellow.

A pair of gathered crops with pockets on the outside are teamed with a matching jacket and scarf.

Nicole Faria brings out the best in red with this kurta and matching pants.

We're actually looking at two garments here -- a 3D gathered mini, worn over a checkered sari.

Datta rarely indulges feminity, but jailstripes or not, this dress worn by Kavita Kharayat is definitely pretty.

A draped tunic and cowl pants make their presence felt on the runway.

We see a garment from the illustrations segment -- a printed tunic and pants.

This jail striped red ensemble certainly looks like it's trapping the wearer!

Another illustrated piece gives us the impression it's mean to be worn to bed -- quite like a nightshirt, isn't it?

With this maxi worn by Sanea Shaikh, the designer introduces another element never seen before on his designs -- ruffles!

For once, Datta didn't give us a quick peek from the wings and flee -- instead, he walked the walk with his models.
