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.

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

While Puri's palette was largely bright and colourful, some of her designs -- like this one -- were prominently black.
