Art and sensuality mix on the catwalk

We wonder what British artist Bridget Riley would have made of Pankaj and Nidhi's latest collection? For their showing on Day One of the WLIFW, the two designers drew inspiration from her Op Art (optical art), which creates optical illusions using black and white, but infused colour into it instead.

What do you make of model Sonalika Sahay's sexy square shorts and balloon-sleeve top? See any additional dimensions or images thanks to the geometrical pattern and texturing?

Intricate cord work lines create a hypnotic effect on this sexy mini dress.

Hot favourite

Baby doll dresses will surely be a fave this coming spring-summer. Go pink -- like this -- and we're almost sure you won't need anything else.

Adding colour

Some of the most well-known Op Art works have been in black and white. Pankaj and Nidhi move away from the traditional and introduce lavender, among other colours, to the palette.

Lady in red

Yet again, adding colour to the Op Art monochrome revolution, Candice Pinto turns up the heat in red.

Taking a bow

The designer duo walk the ramp themselves at the end of the show.
