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

Yesterday, we brought you a glimpse of designers' best offerings from the WLIFW, which is underway in Delhi till October 12.

Today we bring you some more fabulous creations from one of India's biggest fashion dos of the year!

We start off with the hottest numbers from Sanchita's collection, which mixed deco elements with streamline design to create a modern resort look. Seen here is a textured two-piece in a striking combo of red, black and beige.
