Presenting Debarun Mukherjee's 'Dear Imagination' collection from the third day of Lakme Fashion Week.
Debarun Mukherjee's latest line was created by his interactions with children attending art workshops that help promote talent and integration across different socio-economic backgrounds.
His theme for these garments has been their colourful musings, for as he puts it, children are "the original dream-weavers and make-belief makers". And here's what they came up with.
The single flower motif was translated into print as well as embroidery and appeared on saris, blouses, capes and dresses. Kicking things off we have this floral olive and black strappy ensemble.
Sharp looker
The sharp tailoring on this high-necked jacket doesn't fail to impress -- and nor does the subtle floral embroidery.
Mixed bag
Contrasting prints and colours come together to create a flower-themed drape.
Short 'n' sweet
Nicole Faria shows off her bod in a blue pleated mini and cascading silk kimono blouse.
Slouchy style
A slippery, slouchy number with sequinned detail looks rather chic.
Juicy jazz
Basic high-waisted pants go well with this poncho-like top, revealing a sparkling red and greenbodice beneath.
Gentleman's togs
The designer sends out quite a gentlemanly velour jacket that extends to the knees -- and afloral shirt.
Cranking up the volume
Voluminous dhoti pants are teamed with a flaring kurta for effect.
Seductive showstopper
Nethra looks every inch the supermodel in a black skirt with plush purple threadwork and wispy one-sided top.
For the kids
Debarun steps out alongside his little co-designers.
