Brown snakeskin was used as detailing at the back of trousers for men, or as a highlight for churidars for the women, giving them a very natural feel. Aspects of nature were an obvious influence for the designers. As with every other designer, layering was a key aspect. For men, Lalit Jalan put a waistcoat with a T-shirt underneath and under the t-shirt was a shirt with sleeves popping out. The waistcoat incidentally seems to be a style most designers making menswear have used. From this the collection moved into a more colourful look with mango yellow being often used as the highlight colour. It almost had a warrior like look with the obi belt and gladiator style amulets worn by men.
Water was obviously another inspiration as there were a lot of aquamarines and sandy yellows. Beige ropes with knots were wrapped around the boys. Transparent fabrics added to the watery effect. Though beige was the base colour, coral pinks and aqua were used. The subtle embroidery in these colours was used for the men on the churidars. The silhouettes were mostly Indian, with unusually draped saris, kurtis and churidars.
