Saris you need to own right now

As much as gender fluidity reigned as the dominant theme of Lakme Fashion Week's Summer/Resort 2017, designers couldn't resist the occasional nod to the traditional drape. Pre-constructed silhouettes were everywhere because -- let's be honest -- few urban millenials can claim mastery over the drape. By dictating the structure, designers were free to roll the dice with fabric choices.

Shweta Kapur's polyester metallic sari shone bright at one end of the spectrum, while Sailesh Singhania stuck to hand-spun khadi with real gold zari. Nupur Kanoi turned to Gujarat's famous bandhini technique on silk while Payal Singhal chose a sexier route with her sheer saris.
