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.

Flaired and flirty we have this striking blue and orange number.

Rich purple, orange and blue make for a toga-meets-sari mix -- we like!

The fitted form, vibrant colour and cut-away back on this one give it that added edge.

We see the Maasai footprint motif on this one-piece, ending in voluminous pants.

The unusual headpiece here still doesn't take away from the beauty of the bustier and flowing skirt.

We love this statement dress on Candice Pinto -- chic and eye-catching!

Layered and contrasting, the draping of this ensemble sets it apart from the rest.
