Fashion: Over-the-top runway outfits

Arjun Saluja decided to let the audience determine the theme of his collection for the spring/summer installment 2010 of the LFW. Accordingly, a blank page and crayons were issued to each audience member instead of a concept note at the start of the show. Here are the latest offerings from his label Rishta.

A loose kaftan blouse makes its entrance, combined with a dramatic asymmetrical skirt.

Olive overture


Soft olive satin drapes voluminously on a dress worn under a cloak wrap.

Shingle style


Fabric shingles seem to be hanging off this grey dress, with its radically deviating hemline.

Centrepoint


This midi seems to flow outwards from the pinch at the waist, with panels adorning the bodice.

Feminine fashion -- for men!


This is a first -- a guy in a jumpsuit, complete with rouching and lady-like sleeves! Oh, well, whatever works for you.

Toning it down


Just when you think Saluja's losing the plot, he's back with another wearable checkered number.

An exaggerated edge


Jodhpurs don't get any more exaggerated than this -- so you know where to turn if you want to make a statement.

Wider and wider


A tent-like maxi juxtaposes a checkered print and pristine white satin.

Showstopping style


Soft yet futuristic, a pale billowing ensemble sails out as the showstopper.

Practicing what he preaches


Saluja makes an appearance wearing rouched harem pants, which, it turns out, look pretty hep!
