Nandita Thirani's latest, 'Flor De Luna', was offered up on the third day of the LFW.

Named in Spanish for the moonflower, an ephemeral bloom, designer Nandita Thirani offered up chiffons, silks and velvets in a host of evening shades on Day Three of Lakme Fashion Week.

The collection 'Flor De Luna' was a mix of both pret and high couture garments employing various types of embroidery and styles, the first of which you can see on this velour skirt, teamed with a mauve tank and satin jacket.
