Fashion: French inspirations and sensual silhouettes

Last updated on: October 16, 2009 09:57 IST

Quite like Manav Gangwani, Suneet Verma opened the show with black but the colour palette changed steadily with lavender, cream, pink and even white making their way into the collection.

Called La Belle Epoque or 'The Beautiful Era' Verma draws his inspiration from the era in French fashion history that spanned between 1890 and 1914 when people first started following trends.

It was a slight sense of deja vu as the first set of models walked in wearing black -- just like they did with Gangwani barely half hour before.

Vision in white


Interesting spaghetti sleeves but not sure we like the rest of the thing going on here.

Clutch it!


Love the clutch; leave the rest.

Stocking up?


Yet again not quite sure what to make of the stocking that replace the traditional salwar...

Boho-chic


Monikangana adds a feather to this bohemian themed dress.

We know it's you!
