Pix: Shimmery, sheer silhouettes on the ramp

It was all shimmer and sheer at Gaurav Gupta's show on Day 2 of Delhi Couture Week. Drawing inspiration from the mysteries and beauty of the deep, the collection entitled 'Fantastical Creatures' began with light pastels and gradually moved into dark greys and black.

While all the outfits were delicate, flowing numbers in sheer fabrics like chiffon, net and lace, the sensibilities flowed seamlessly from Indian to western with a healthy sprinkling of saris, lehengas, gowns and dresses. Check it out!

First up is this gorgeous ruffled fish-tail skirt paired with a sheer top with Swarovsky crystal embellishment over a satin bustier.

Next is this delicate net sari set off by the heavy floral applique on the pallav, draped over a matched bustier choli.

Is it a gown? It is a lehenga? We're not too sure. But one thing we do know, it sure is pretty! As for the Swarovski bling, we'd give it a miss.

Model Diandra Soares strikes a pose in this layered net dress. Don't miss the strategically placed silver overlay on the sheer net torso.

This black beauty sure gets our thumbs up! The sheer flowing fabric over the lace choli that extends right to the waist is sensual yet very wearable.
