The theme of the collaboration is “A Celebration of Self Expression,” with a focus on individuality and personal style.

  • The collection featured intricate prints, including motifs inspired by Madhubani style flora, paisley, Kaleen capsules, and bold abstract geometric prints reminiscent of Art Deco styles.
  • The Gara embroidery, drawing inspiration from nature and mythology, added intricate details. The sequinned collection brought classic refinements, contributing to a luxurious and opulent feel.
