A fashionable ode to Kolkata

Inspired by the rich heritage of Kolkata City's colonial history and its modern existence, designer Nilanjan Ghosh showcased a fashion line titled 'Babu, Bibi Aur Keta' on the third day of the LFW. Drapes, 3D silhouettes and pin tucks defined most of the outfits -- take a look.

We start off with this all-brown outfit, set off by red suspenders and gladiator sandals.

Bow-tied but bare-chested

It's not often you see so many colours on a jacket, nor a bow-tie without a shirt worn underneath!

Mixing it up

A kurta is worn over a sheer red sari with blue petticoat to create an ultraviolet-like effect. 

Striped pajamas

This churidaar kurta outfit is dominated by the coral tone -- and that handbag is pretty neat too.

Bowled over by the cowl

Alicia Raut struts her stuff in a funky layered blouse with a cowl hanging down from the neck, much like a jacket.

Gathering it up

This number is 3D at its best, with gathers, draping and silky touches.

Interesting drape

With its dirty yellow tone and cotton border, this sari makes for an interesting drape.

Feminine touch

Nicole Faria shows off a pretty tunic with gathered sleeves and summery hues.

Keeping it casual

Ghosh looks relaxed on the runway in bermudas and sneakers alongside his models at the end of the show.
