Prominent designer Vikram Phadnis left behind his love for colour and bridals on Day Four of the LFW -- here's a look at his very white collection, with just a hint of sparkle, black and beige thrown in.

The garments leaned for the most part towards Western and fusion wear, with just a few ethnic leanings here and there. Seen here is model Pia Trivedi in a wispy white sheer tunic and glimmering mini, topped off with gold sneakers for a sporty feel.
White and gold crops set off a tank and creamy silk jacket.
Silvery grey threadwork adorns this collared tunic with lacy puffed sleeves, but the eye-catching gold leggings dominate the outfit.
White see-through chiffon peeks through a brocaded tunic and is teamed with casual white cut-offs.
Black leggings offset the shimmering elegance of this cocktail with sparkling bodice.
A perma-pleated blouse sits well over wide-leg pants to create a lounge-y, casual look.
Phadnis sends out another becoming tunic, this time in pretty lace with traces of floral embroidery along the neckline.
The focal point of this black-bordered strapless number is the beautifully billowing sleeveless shift jacket.
Luxurious touches are given a rest with this simple black and white ethnic outfit.
White, gold and shiny blue cascade into each other on a fitted little mini.
Nicole Faria poses in a high ruff-at-the-neck dress with detailed, glimmering embroidery juxtaposed against a pale background.
Sailing out onto the runway is this one-shouldered gown, swirling attractively around the ankles.
This empire-waisted ensemble, with its diamond-marked bodice in gold is worthy of a royal wardrobe.
We see Pia once more, this time in a spiralling cone-bra kind of dress with dominatrix-style straps -- looks like something Madonna would have worn in the '80s, what say?
Carol Gracias showcases the showstopper -- a gargantuan, feather-textured floor-sweeper.
Phadnis steps onto the runway as his models and the audience voice their approval.
