Dazzling colours brighten up runway

Last updated on: September 19, 2009 
Toxin, Nachiket Barve's latest range showcased on Day Two of the LFW, was predictably enough, inspired by deadly creatures of the deep.

Drawing on the dazzling colours of sea anemones, poison dart frogs and box jellyfish, the designer has also employed organic motifs like amphibian skin, tentacles and stingers to accentuate his theme. Tave a look.

Model Nicole Faria starts the show in this colour-blocked, layered maxi with sequined straps.
