Last updated on: September 22, 2009 

Butterflies, flowers and all things feminine and summery were part of Preeti Chandra's line, showcased on the fourth day of the LFW. In the designer's own words, she wanted to craft creations that are "whimsical, cool and chic". Take a look.

One of the first interesting entries is this all-white ensemble, sparkles shining off the dhoti pants and cutwork blouse.
