Fashion: Elegant pleats for young women

The final day of Lakme Fashion Week opened with designer Atithi Gupta's 'Recherche' winter festive line.

Playful, young attire that teams charming, vaguely retro ensembles." That was what Atithi Gupta offered on Day Five of the LFW.

The collection, called 'Recherche' (it means exquisitely elegant and exotic), used past styles to create modern silhouettes in wools and silks and the colour tone was mixed, with subtle shades and brighter ones mixed to create geometric patterns.

First off we have this minty bubble hem number take to the runway.

Next follows a similar satin outfit in teal blue.

Go the sophisticated route in this pair of black pencil pants and sheer blouse.

Nicole Faria struts her stuff in a mauve mini with pleated bodice.

Surelee Joseph steps out in a jumpsuit with muted gold sash and detailing.

Vertical pleats cascade into a flirty chocolate strapless dress.

The designer offers up a no-fuss coffee-toned A-line ensemble.

We loved this ruff-necked wispy brown jacket, worn over olive pencil fits and a grey tank.

And finally we have this relaxed jumpsuit with sheer and satin detailing.

The petite Gupta steps out alongside her models.
