Life is like a game, according to designer Swapnil Shinde. And inspired by the twists and turns of imaginary battles, rescuing fair damsels and fighter women, here is his spring/summer 2010 line, showcased on the fourth day of
the LFW.

First on the runway is this white short balloon dress with a zipper front and cutwork sleeves.
