Street style gets a designer makeover

Designer Vivek Karunakaran sought to "explore the beauty of the aimless wanderer" with his showing on the second day of the LFW.

Confident, languid and borrowing from men's fashion, Karunakaran offered up a host of designs inspired by 'The Urban Vagabond', which also happens to be the name of the collection.

Layered street style was on display, with washed-down finishes and an emphasis on the triangular silhouette. Check it out.

Looking punky, we have a grey bubble dress, teamed with checkered leggings and a trendy little jacket.

Look through you


Freddy Daruwala strikes a pose in a sheer shirt with grey panelling on the chest and matching trousers.

Sleek sheen


Subtle metallic hints set off a shirt and baggy pants, topped off with a sleeveless vest.

Standing out


Pewter tones define this flaired number with an inner layer of black tulle.

For fab-figured


Show off those gams in black leggings and boots, worn with a fitted grey blouse.

Crush


We see another structured ensemble, showing off grey and pink stripes in crushed fabric.

Checkered dude


We see Freddy once more, in a red-checkered jacket and matching crops.

Crimson taste


The designer continues with crimson -- Nicole Faria wears a bubble jacket over short shorts and stockings.

Getting tuckered


Surelee Joseph dons a red and purple ensemble with nip and tuck detailing at the hem.

Hoodie style


An urbane hooded mini in purple gives off a funky vibe.

Ball gown cut short


The showstopping entry is also in purple, moving from a fitted bodice to a plump skirt.

A big smile


Karunakaran beams at the audience as he is accompanied down the ramp by his models.
