Presenting Jatin Varma's collection from the final day of Lakme Fashion Week.
Drawing inspiration from the Lady of the Labyrinth (a maze that was created for a king) in Greek mythology, Jatin Varma created a line of "uber-feminine dresses and gowns" on Day Five of the LFW.
According to the designer, "mazes are just like women -- easy to understand once you understand them".
Using the concept of the Labyrinth, he created both structured and fluid drapes that are complex and simple at the same time.
First up is this ethereal white corset gown with silver detail -- the model proceeded to recline on the catwalk to add a touch of drama to the proceedings.
