Sloppy, easy skirts and understated crop tops were predominant on the second day of Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Spring Summer 2015.
As the spring season demands loose fits, most of the designers went for unbound and relaxed dresses.

The day started with designer Rina Singh's collection 'Eka', meaning one in Sanskrit and 'one of a kind' in other languages. The feminine, relaxed silhouettes in soft shades, mostly pastel blue and white make for a lazy Sunday wear.
"My collection is for women who wear their hearts on their sleeves and attitude in their clothes. The collection attempts to transcend boundaries of shape, age and race to offer universally adaptable clothing ideas. The fashion statement created, is unique, ageless and individualistic," Singh said.
Next in line was Virtues by Viral, Ashish and Vikrant, which was inspired by an HIV/AIDS patient Anandi Yuvraj and her spirit to live life notwithstanding her sufferings.
The dresses were less voluminous unlike the designers' previous collections, as they felt controlled flair will have more buyers this spring.
