In Part V of a series, we bring you some more ramp action from the ongoing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week!
We've been bringing you the best of the WLIFW all week (click here for Parts I, II, III and IV) and now we've got some more fun fashion in store -- here's some sexy creations from the best in the business!
Coming up first are the stylings of Alpana and Neeraj, which were much like exoskeletons -- solid structures moulded out of transparent plastic, juxtaposed with flowing chiffon to create surreal outfits, like this one-piece and its accompanying armour.

Batik meets pop-art

There is no better way to describe the latest from Dev R Nil, who pasted batik motifs of giant sunglasses and cars all over the dresses, trousers, coats, kurtis and even handbags. But first is a delicate feminine outfit that turned heads.
