Poll: The worst outfits seen on the LFW catwalk!

Here are a few of the more eye-popping, what-the-heck-is-that outfits seen on the Lakme Fashion Week runway last week. Do you think all's fair in the name of creativity or should clothes be wearable and attractive at the end of the day?Tell us whether you think each is a hit or a miss by taking the poll below!

Let's start with this -- err -- 'ensemble' by avante garde designer Little Shilpa, which is, well, let's just say less avante and more be on your guard. If you're going to stride around in yellow spandex with toy windmills, feathers and a mini castle pasted to your noggin, it's very likely you'll have some serious explaining to do when they haul you off to the psych ward!

The non-swimmers will love this one -- a one-piece with flotation devices built in. While you may float in water, however, it's likely you'll still die from lack of blood circulation -- the way the darn thing is cutting into a reed-thin model's thighs is enough to give you an idea of what we're talking about! Are you listening, Shrivan and Narresh?

Vijay Balhara's summer 2010 collection was supposedly inspired by the dancing girls of the Mughal empire, but this number looks more like it was inspired by the clowns of Apollo Circus. The giant polka dots, the crimson hue, the fact that it's a bodysuit -- all that's missing is the big red nose!

It would seem that Vikram Phadnis lost the plot somewhere -- we're all for classy gowns, but note, we're stressing on 'classy'. A spiralling cone-bra kind of dress with dominatrix-style straps is not exactly red carpet attire -- even Madonna left hers back in the '80s, where they belong. Now we're not going to stoop so low as to say where this belongs, but let's just say it rhymes with 'cash'.

Would you date a man who wore a jacket with green and yellow piping, topped off with a bowtie against his bare neck and chest? No, we wouldn't either, but apparently, nobody told Nilanjan Ghosh that. We just hope he's not stepping out wearing his own creations, or it's guaranteed -- bachelorhood for life.

Any outfit that reminds you of a big, hairy animal is not good news, Anand Bhushan. Even a naturalist would give this model a closer look! And that collar looks like it was inspired by the pet cones used to prevents dogs from scratching themselves.

Digvijay Singh's inspiration for his spring line was the Jain philosophy of Anekantavad, but since when has spirituality translated into dowdy clothes? Even an octogenarian would object to that frumpy frock -- and those pants underneath are just plain out of place. Grandma's closet is classier than this!

Like Phadnis, Swapnil Shinde tried to breathe new life into the cone bra -- and like Phadnis, he failed miserably. Nobody wants to leave the house in accentuated gold cups that threaten to blind your date with their garishness. And hey, don't keep staring too closely, because they seem to have an almost hypnotising effect! Must...look...away...

Here we see Amrit Maghera putting on her best gum-chewing, Cyndi Lauper girls-just-wanna-have-fun look. What we get, however, is not the iconic pop-style attitude of those golden '80s high school years -- it's kindergarten. And the fault lies with Suneet Varma. Next time, please design outfits keeping in mind adults, not four-year-olds.

Yes, we get that metrosexuality is here to stay, but it doesn't mean that men need to parade around in glimmer and sparkles. If you didn't look below the knees, you could have sworn Abdul Halder sent a male in a dress out onto the ramp. But wait, that actually did happen! And it's coming up in just a bit!

Kallol Datta is just a big ol' sweetie, which makes this next one so much the more difficult for us. But this drape just couldn't be passed up. It's called the 'genocide sari' and that's the only thing that's appropriate about it -- the name. Every other similar kind of garment needs to be destroyed!

Their theme was representative of "gothic Lolitas, corpse brides, lost little girls, and macabre tea parties". And duo Smita Singh Rathore and Shani Himanshu's label 11.11 managed to scare the pants off us, alright! That floral bodysuit looks like it was created from bed linen and if that's a dress, well, we're all Queens of May -- or maybe gothic Lolitas!

London-based fashion designer Christopher Kane also showcased at the LFW and while his creations were very much appreciated, he proved that even the best of us can have an off day. How else do you explain this ugly little excuse for a summer dress? And those cups again -- no. No! Enough of them already!

We thought we were done with Varma, but apparently, he had more than one bash-worthy outfit showcased at the fashion week finale. This cliched leopard-print, with its weak effort at looking sexy, was just all wrong. And somewhere in the Sunderbans, a sulky wildcat is retiring to his lair till the bunnies are done laughing. We'd suggest the designer scrap any future plans of going on safari after this fiasco.

And finally, we come to Krishna Mehta and her showstopper, fellow fashion designer and reality TV star Rohit Verma. Now we're all for freedom of expression, but this dress was just sad, which is just as well, because nobody gave it so much as a second glance -- we were all too busy watching Verma's antics on the ramp!
