Inspired by iconic Bollywood character 'Mona Darling', designer Karishma Sahani Khan today presented a stunning collection at the Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2013.
Day two opened with Nitya Arora, Karishma Shahani Khan, Ken Ferns and Sneha Arora who brought varying fashion directions on the ramp.
It was Bollywood glamour inspired by the quintessential 'Mona Darling' that dazzled on the runway when designer Karishma Sahani Khan presented her collection titled 'Maya'.
Sheer skirts were panelled and worn with cropped embroidered sleeved tops. Bows were often the highlight. The folksy dress, the organza tail coat bolero, peplum blouse and skirt, and two tone sari worn with a short trapeze blouse had a mix of Indo-west influences.
Designer Sneha Arora let her imagination revolve around a Vintage Military theme for her collection called 'A Soldier Story'.
The collection includes dresses, shirts, long lean maxis, blazers were some of the highlights. The colours remained totally martial in tones of green, khaki, navy all blended with burgundy.
Nitya Arora's 'Valliyan' label celebrated the beauty of the Art Deco influences of 1920 through her accessories collection.
Architecture played an important role in the designs when the various mediums came together seamlessly to create beautiful ornaments from glass, crystal, pearls, precious stones, copper, brass and gold plating.
Nitya showcased stunning pieces of jewellery like long necklaces with tube beads, fan shaped pendants, cocktail rings, bow pendant on a pearls and gold chains, and chokers.
