Here's a glimpse of the most recent fashionable do that coloured Mumbai's catwalk.
Designers Dev r Nil and Rina Dhaka showcased their collections as part of the Signature 7 Sensations Fashion Tour in Mumbai yesterday.
The tour, taking place across several Indian cities, associates a specific theme or 'sensation' with each destination, which inspires the lines of clothing displayed. For Mumbai, the designers had to work with 'Mischief' and the outfits, as a result, were bold, chic and bright.
Providing the celeb quotient for the event were showstoppers Rahul Bose and Celina Jaitley, who looked ravishing in a sheer gown. Here's a look at both designers' best designs.
First up, we have the funky stylings of Dev r Nil, starting with this retro geometric print mini.
Cutwork couture
The designers latch on to the cutwork trend with this tunic, zippered all the way up the front and sporting hints of blue through the floral pattern.
True blue
Running in the same vein we have this shimmering blue ensemble, with grey flowers toning down the upper half.
Cascading cool
Aqua tones soothe the eyes and cascade becomingly on this flowing dress with embellishment at the neck.
Showstopping among the ladies
The only male on the ramp (all evening, actually) is Rahul Bose, looking his usual dapper self in a high-collared blue jacket and well-cut black pants.
Watch Rahul strut his stuff on video here.
Arm in arm
Dev r Nil surface alongside their starry showstopper. But don't go away yet! Rina Dhaka's sexy line is up next.
Dare to bare
Dhaka decided to go the super-sexy route, as is apparent from this pearl-grey mini, worn over gold boyshorts.
Sheer style
Making even more 'mischief' is this see-through black cocktail, decked out with tassels and sporting a tightly sheathed bodice.
Fade to pale
To ensure that blacks don't dominate, the designer serves up this light, pretty ensemble with asymmetric hemline.
Keeping it chic
Buttoning down the front and showing off cutwork embroidery on the neckline, we quite liked this flirty ensemble.
Lemon yellow
Breaking through the colour scheme so far comes this little outfit, with black embroidery in sharp contrast with the sunny background.
Bold and beautiful
Celina Jaitley makes quite an entry in her sheer gown, worn over shorts and showing off her fabulous bod (make sure you check out the video).
Beauties in black
Dhaka shows that she's not afraid of showing a little leg either, as she takes to the ramp with her muse!
All in it together
Rahul and Celina gamely pose together for the flashbulbs as the designers chat animatedly in the background. Looks like there's no competition here!
