Under her label Pero, the Delhi-based designer, who became season's favourite last year with her cute and quirky "Pajama Party" collection, had a successful walk this time as well. (Text: PTI; Express Photo by Amit Mehra)

With her signature checks and lines, Aneeth took Pippi and the audience on a nostalgic trip to school, set close to the beautiful Poppy fields. (Text: PTI; Express Photo by Amit Mehra)

The show saw models dressed as Pippi Longstocking, wearing comfortable yet trendy monochrome dresses, jackets, jumpsuits with poppys adding tint of red. (Text: PTI; Express Photo by Amit Mehra)

Keeping in mind the season the collection is designed for, Aneeth used woolen fabrics like angora, pashmina, gingham and merino along with embroidery throughout her range. (Text: PTI; Express Photo by Amit Mehra)

Khadi, chanderi, denim with lace details also made a significant appearance here and there. The silhouettes were well crafted with signature longstockings of Pippi and boots completing the look. (Text: PTI; Express Photo by Amit Mehra)

Sporting the Pippi hairdo, models played, walked and enjoyed on the ramp with live music in the background. (Text: PTI; Express Photo by Amit Mehra)

The band, who was also a part of the classroom scene created on the ramp, put the show together not with the help of any conventional musical instruments, but props like chalk, duster, pen, lunchbox, blackboard and bench. (Text: PTI; Express Photo by Amit Mehra)

With everything in place and on time, Pero undoubtedly came out as one of the most memorable shows of this season. (Text: PTI; Express Photo by Amit Mehra)
