Clothes that change like a chameleon

Day Four of the LFW was opened by designer Purvi Doshi with her 'Kachindo' collection. 'Kachindo' means chameleon in Gujarati and it's a fitting name for these creations, which metamorphose into a variety of different silhouettes -- each is reversible, with four layers of fabric that can be worn upside down, inside out and even side by side.

Thew patterns ranged from ethnic to floral to checkered -- take a look. Alicia Raut started the show in this triangle-patterned draw-string outfit.

Going knotty


Next we have a one-shouldered, predominantly red dress with knotted detail and floral motif.

In the pink


Marianna Dias strikes a pose in a summery pink mini.

Silky touches


Soft and silky, a pinafore drapes casually over a deep purple tank top.

Halting halter


The designer mixes ethnic patterns with geometry and the end result is this very appealing, summery halterneck.

Stripey and slouchy


This outfit moves from a billowing blouse to a fitted skirt and from stripes to florals to solids -- how's that for chameleon characteristics?

Blue babydoll


Exude flirty appeal in a pretty blue babydoll dress.

Triangular drape


We see Alicia once again in a striking blue and white triangle-panelled sari, presumably the showstopper.

Hand in hand


Doshi takes to the runway with Raut at the end of an interesting showing.
