  • Art a la Mode- Inspired by the Madhubani paintings from Bihar, this collection offers an amalgamation of contemporary and modern Indo-Western silhouettes with a traditional art form.

  • Borrowed from the Boys- Inspired from men’s fashion. Designed by- Snigdha Jain, Sakshi Khanna, Shristi Gupta, Vidhi Lunawat

Shades of pink and blue are aesthetically used in fabrics ranging from the elegance of chiffon and kotadoria to the grace of silk and cotton.  Designed by- Shriyanshi Vijay, Radhika Agarwal, DiaJangid and Ashi Jain
  • Steampunk goddess- Traditional silhouettes, inspired by the structural yet extravagant style of the 1930s, have been crafted anew so as to suit the contemporary trends in fashion. The colour palette includes black and gold fabrics in raw silk, taffeta silk and net tissue to create all the dram Designed by- Stuti Gupta
  • Stately Surprise- Here is a collection inspired by the hues and grandeur of the spellbinding state of Andhra Pradesh, especially its resist dyeing technique of the woven Ikat. Rich fabrics and vibrant shades in Chanderi silk and glazed cotton, that are inseparably associated with the royal heritage of the state of Madhya Pradesh, combine in a succession of cool and warm tones and in designs that showcase the old-world charm of a bygone era. Designed by- Riddhi Gupta, Kritika Mittal, Mallika Mittal and Shivani Jain
  • Navras- The human life is a rich tapestry of color and texture, the warp and weft of the many experiences that shape it. The collection thus showcases life in its myriad colours represented by the nine emotions, wherein there is a colour for every mood. So, there is Shringaraor Love indicated by Pink, Haasyam or Joy in Yellow, Veeram or bravery and self-confidence through Orange, Raudram or Anger represented by Red, Vibhatsa or Disgust shown in Brown, Shaantam or Peace in White, Adbhuta or Wonder through Blue, Bhayanak or Fear suggested by Black and Karunaor Sadness by way of Grey. Designed by- Prerna Agarwal

 

  • London Talkies- This is a classic Western collection inspired by the iconic red bus and phone booth that are quintessentially London. A heady mix of ready-to-wear and couture, the collection boasts self-done screen-printing on silk and showcases a bright, contrasting colour palette to pep up the season using classic bold silhouettes. The dominating colour - purple - makes quite a statement in this city-chic ensemble. Designed by- Jyoti Yadav, Aishwarya Rathore and JahanviBadlani
  • Madras caf'e- The collection recognizes the cultural identity and charm of Madras checks though in a manner which is pretty perky! It is a detour from the intense cuts towards embracing the lopsided synergy of cotton checks and floral chiffon. The asymmetric silhouettes are further supplemented with embroidered tissue and tassel details to give a structure look to the line. So, what emerges is a perfect coming together of design sensibility and quirky creativity. Designed by- Aditi Vyas
  • Stocklet Frieze- The symbolic Tree of Life stands tall and grand, signifying the steadfastness that is needed to sail through life. Depicting precisely this spirit is this Indi-Fusion collection in earth tones using the ‘tree of life’ motif embroidered on garments in cotton silk that is crafted to absolute perfection. The use of geometric and straight lines and the dawn-to- dusk range of colours lend this collection an all too earthy tone and feel. Designed by- Shreya Garg and SonaliKhariwal
  • Khadi Redifened- Known for its raw and earthy feel, India’s signature fabric - khadi -has been used in this collection to signal both its arrival and conservation. Embellished with sequins, block printing and hand painting, the garments are given a ramp-ready look in a fabric that embodies a world-view of the past and re-emerges as a proud symbol of the Indian textile heritage. The use of bright colours and an Indo Western street fashion-style jazz up the entire look, compelling the young and fashionable to embrace khadi as couture. Designed by- NandiniChoudhary, AnushkaTyagi, Nisha Gurang and Priyanshichandak
