Sanjukta Dutta shines the spotlight on Assam's beautiful textiles.

Designer Sanjukta Dutta has always reminded us about the beauty and tradition of Indian textiles.

Her latest collection, Shukoolaa, meaning bright and white, featured a line of traditional and Indo-Western styles.

And she had the gorgeous Lara Dutta Bhupathi as her showstopper.

It was such a treat to watch Lara Dutta back on the ramp.

 

Dressed in a white and gold mekhela chador, the former Miss Universe was elegance personified. Her statement jhumka and radiant smile were the only accessories she needed.

 

The designer played with Assamese fabrics and her signature prints.

 

There were kurtas, ponchos, lehengas and saris.

 

Sanjukta's lovely Indo-Western collection was a doff to her traditional roots.

 

Balloon-sleeved cholis and slashed jackets were the highlight of the collection.

 

Cheery pops of yellow played happily with tasselled detailing.

 

Candice Pinto carried off these monuments with ease.

 

Sanjukta was all smiles as she walked down the runway with her stunning muse.

 

How can we leave without giving you another glimpse of Lara?

 

That smile, she seems to be saying, is just for you.
