Sharp cuts, masculine touches and nerdy spectacles characterised Ashish Soni's spring/summer 2010 collection, showcased on Day One of the WLIFW. Inspired by Yves Saint Laurent's cocktail hour dresses and British-born writer, heiress and political activist Nancy Cunard, here's a glimpse of the garments on offer.

Candice Pinto was one of the first on the runway in this sheen-tinged charcoal number with textured sleeves.

Stand out from the rest in this chocolate suede jacket, worn over pleated pants and wide-collared blouse.
