Sashikant Naidu started his show on a good note with a grey and black tie-and-dye silk jacket and skirts accessorised with colourful bursts of dangling fabric flowers. From the rest of the collection, the hand-painted flower designs on crepe saris were a good effort. Pic/Shadab Khan

Debashri Samanta set the mood for the day with fish-and-hook print, forming the main motif of her collection called Hooked, which we were told, was inspired by Vietnam. The motifs teased in shades of black, purple and white. While the silhouettes ranged from printed coats to voluminous skirts.

Sayantan Sarkar's collection had a few options for men too; well-cut layered jackets of different sizes worn over boxy shirts and trousers. He followed the layered separates route for women too. We had one grouse though. The Japanese Doll print seemed like an echo of the print that made the label Quirkbox famous. What we liked was the use of Jamdani weaves and the crisp jackets on show.

Divya Sheth presented Ajrakh Jo Galicho, reinventing the Ajrakh print mixed with hand painted Kalamkari. Unlike the purples in the previous show, Sheth's palette comprised muted shades of henna, and turmeric yellow.
