Plunging necklines with thigh high slits

Celebrities and models strutting in gowns with bold plunging necklines and daring thigh-high slits were a common sight on this year's LFW ramps. Our faves: shimmery gold or nude gowns with mirror work for a blend of Indian and western.

'Garden' view

The mandatory trend of spring, florals underwent a major makeover with garden elements spread over lehengas, saris, gowns and skirt sets. What was remarkable was the outcome of dark hues in self-prints, embroidery and thread work on vintage and contemporary designs.

Flaming red

Though red is a given in couture, it took us by surprise this time with its entry into spring fashion. Gowns, saris and kurtas saw various shades of the crimson hue with floral and gold appliqués making everything look oh-so-rich and alluring.

Sharp, edgy and unusual - these are now here to rule the jewellery scene!
