Last updated on: October 28, 2009 15:37 IST

Inspired by watching people rummaging though the secondhand bargains at flea markets, designer Sanchita sought to capture the same sensibilities in her collection, showcased on Day Three of the WLIFW. Hence, in her own words, her outfits were "a mix of branded, anonymous and work-in-progress pieces".

We start off with this kitschy two-piece, with its look completed by a matching turban, beach bag and flipflops.
