Fashion: Sabya rocks the runway, goes boho-glam

As strains of Edith Piaf's French cabaret numbers played in the background and fairy lights twinkled in pretty rows above the runway, Sabyasachi brought Day One of Lakme Fashion Week to a close with his resortwear collection.

In a departure from his trademark ethnicwear, the designer put out a decidedly breezy line, with hints of bling and plenty of boho touches -- shiny bikini tops, translucent fabrics and retro glares dominated the runway.

Starting the show is this bold shocker (well, bold for Sabya anyway!) -- a transparent skirt and bolero, with threadwork placed strategically on top and worn over boy-shorts below.

Next we have this autumn printed dress with plunging neckline and teamed with a funky jacket.

Lisa Haydon strikes a pose in a block-printed maxi skirt and tie-up vest.

Straight-laced as ever, this ankle-length casual is set off by a bib-style embellishment that hangs low at the waist.

A sequinned bikini peeks through an otherwise staid white shirt and midi skirt.

Churidaar pants jazz up this unique kurta, with a bolero-style pattern and an empire waistline. And the checkered scarf at the neck is very French!

Heavy texture and embroidery move into a simple knee-length skirt and then a floral print.
