Anupama Dayal's floral fantasies

Last updated on: September 21, 2009 

Designer Anupama Dayal showcased the latest collection Joie from her label Anupamaa on Day Four of Lakme Fashion Week. Floral, subtly sensual and blooming, the theme of her collection was an "utopian valley of flowers in a smart city". Here's a first peek at the line.

Blue was the chief colour when it came to most of the garments, like this graphic silk dress, worn underneath a white self-patterned blouse.
