Titled GEO, the collection revealed sharply structured, fitted dresses and jumpsuit for the fairer sex; while for the New Age male, there were well constructed suits.

Women's wear was aimed at the formal category. Seen here is Alesia Raut in a red number with a drape on the side.

The suits for the men had as much styling and panache.

The fabric choice was Italian silk, cotton and stretch satin, all skilfully moulded to create silhouettes and contours resembling the fluidity of water and glossy surfaces of the earth.

Embellishments added to the beauty of the gowns as mother of pearl, opal, stone and copper embellishments sparkled discreetly on the outfits.

Layering and draping appeared, as fabrics cascaded down the creations in languid folds.

Moving onto colours that matched the theme, Rajat added cool sage, warm coral, midnight blue with hints of copper and black for a gentle shimmer.

Rajat opted for hand embroidered shoes that matched the garments.
