The spiritual meets the sensuous at Fashion Week

Here's a glimpse of designer Anand Kabra's showing on the Lakme Fashion Week ramp -- in his own words, a sensual yet spiritual collection called Kumari.

The designer, affected by the fact that history and society tend to worship only the public perception and spiritual side of historically significant women, sought to create a line inspired by both the spiritual and sensual sides of her nature. Kumari seeks to bring out this dual disposition of goddesses, royalty and warriors with a collection that is both conservative and bold, flirtatious and austere.
