AFTER four days of watching bright, warm colours on the ramp, seeing a collection in pastels was a fresh breath of air. 

But it ended there. The look created throgh them was been-there-seen that. Where? In a filmi wedding, of course.

What they presented: festive saris, lehengas and some casual dresses. A few Sherwanis and kurtas for men.

Colour combos: Not many experiments here. Priya and Chintan went for the safer combinations like magenta with white and turquoise with beige.

In fact some of their colour combinations can be easily found in a wedding song-and-dance sequence in any Bollywood masala movie.

Watch out for: ghagra-cholis with some excellent cut-work and thread embroidery. Patterned blouses with empire cuts and bikini-cuts. Jadau work earrings - they are heavy, studded and perfect for a traditional Indian festivity.

Care to wear it?: The look is completely festive. Weddings, engagements, holidays and any ethnic themed party can be a perfect occasion to wear it.
