Drawing his theme from origami, the intricate Japanese art of paper-folding, Vivek Kumar showcased a host of pleated and panelled designs on Day Four of the LFW. Here are the highlights from his line, Noshi.

Kicking things off is this drapey ensemble with silver bling detailing down the front.

Greek cuts


Marianna Dias takes to the runway in a pleated sun dress. The fall is reminiscent of a Greek toga.

Pinafore pret


Next up is this blue lurex pinafore, worn over a sky blue blouse.

Shimmer 'n' shake


In this grey shift, complete with silver steaks hanging off the fabric.

Dyes to die for


What do you think of this interesting maxi drape, with a tie-n-dye effect flowing from the empire waist?

Origami accent


Model Helen wears a jersey and netted number, with origami accents to one side.

Soft silhouette


Finally, we have yet another dyed, draped ensemble, with a softly draped asymmetrical silhouette.

Meet the maker


Kumar steps out of the wings in response to the applause.
