Anjana white-washes summer heat

Anjana Bhargav's dreamy white world of cotton and crochet was perfect for the scorching Indian summer. The virginal element was offset by bizarre plastic 'lips' in bright colours that the models carried around in their mouths.

Embroidered linen shirts worn with satin jodhpurs and crochet ankle warmers gave an extremely layered and soft feel to the collection. The knit tank tops and ecrue coloured 'ganji's were pretty practical and wearable.

The models carried some breathtaking striking bags made of glass. "I designed them myself in the shape of ice cube," Bhargav said.

Layering seems to be the mantra for designers this year. Victorianesque blouses under gangis and silvery ghagra skirts with pants underneath seemed to fit right in the somewhat bizarre world created by Bhargav. Bjork's crazy vocals in the background added to the mood.

Overall a fairly feminine collection with emphasis on layering.
