Last updated on: October 26, 2009 16:28 IST

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.

The sleeves on Krishna Somani's jacket look so sharp they could cut someone! The pants are suitably relaxed in comparison.

Cool cocktail

Here is the little black dress at its best -- classic, with a halter neckline. And it looks great on Neha Kapoor.
