#ThrowbackThursday: Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2015

Mondrian mode
Mondrian patterns make a splash on summer's biggest staple, colour-blocking, where layered hues make way for tiled versions.

Arcade fire
The eighties is officially never going out of style and is revisited via colours and patterns that bring to mind video game parlors, arcade machines and retro jukeboxes.

Frugal florals
Yes, florals for spring will never be ground-breaking, but what's the season without some bloom? See this season's offering, with controlled and seemingly carefully placed florals.

Architectural digest
Sharply constructed coats, jackets and gowns et al, make way for summer-ready crop tops and minis for doses of design with a touch of architectural flair.

Uniform matters
Tailored separates (always with a touch of homme) are given an off-beat treatment.

Slick & slouchy
Razor sharp cuts, sleek as they are, can't beat how slick you can look with this season's slouchy separates. The key is in the pairings.

Miss (mis)print
Unorganised, unaligned and seemingly riotous: these are the keywords for the print lover this season.

Undressed
With illusionary geometric peekaboos and cut-away dresses sashaying down, the runway definitely had a naughty spring to its steps.

The honour roll: Weeks after the shows, here's what we are still talking about in the Vogue office.

King of shade
Tarun Tahiliani's cool take on eyewear.

The star moment
Gauri Khan for Satya Paul for a collection infused with feral energy, and a ramp that heightened the same.

Turning heads
Ugochi Latoya Igwilo, for being the model who logged the most number of double-takes.

The formidable book-ends
Sabyasachi and Anamika Khanna started and ended the week, respectively, on high notes. While Sabyasachi's nostalgia-infused show was held offsite at the Richardson & Cruddas Mills, Anamika Khanna did away the need for a ramp and had her collection showcased on the grand stairway at the Palladium Hotel. Monochrome reigned supreme on the stairway, while smoke and a film noir ambience enveloped the iconic Byculla mill. Both designers ensured that the 15th year of Lakme Fashion Week was stamped with memorable outfits that stayed true to their much-loved idiosyncratic individual style.
