Will-power jumpsuits patched and printed, a colour blocked mermaid shaped halter gown, drop crotch pants with tops. Shimmering crystal bikini tops were teamed with panelled lehengas, dhoti pants midi skirts.

Saris looked regal with pretty embellishments and the dupattas at times had cutouts.Men’s wear continued with the print and colour story for Sherwanis, jackets, kurtas, waistcoats, soft covers with padded shoulders and once again drop crotch pants.The very striking high-heel laced-up boots were in self-designed khadi with silver zari and printed fabrics that added a retro look to the garments.
