Here's what Smriti Gupta's 'Jail House Rock' collection on the fifth and final day of the LFW was all about.
Channelling her love of alternative music and fashion, designer Smriti Gupta paid homage to Elvis Presley and the Rock 'n' Roll' revolution of the late '40s and early '50s at Lakme.
The 'Jail House Rock' line "stands for the strength, vibrancy and endurance of a cool rebel", in Gupta's own words and it is "hard-hittingly edgy, punky yet soulful in its appeal."
Stripes, checks, drapes and tie-'n'-dye were used to create the garments, accessorised with metallic rivets and fedoras in a throwback to the good old days -- check it out.
We start off with these funky pants, teamed with a tie-dye blouse and checkered neckscarf.
