In Part VI of a series, we bring you some more ramp action from the ongoing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week!

First up is a collection from Sulakshana Monga's label 'Soltee', which highlighted sensuous, sultry appeal with garments like this molded bodice gown, showing off sheer panelling and antiquated metallic detailing.
