Model Nina Manuel (far left) sports a black and white dress with motifs from Warli, the decorative art form of tribal Maharashtra. Sucheta (centre) strikes a pose in a dress made from jackuard woven cotton; this dress is inspired by the Sholapur chaddar. The skirt and drawstring top worn by Tinu Verghese (far right) pay tribute to the Devnagiri script and the dhoti.
Style mantra: The 'urbane' look is in. Buy garments with an Indian element (fabric, textile and embroidery) but with a a slightly western silhouette.
