Starting with Croneliani, the designer came up with a sporty look with soft tailoring and mild scheme of colours. Ranging from pure shades of white, light olive green, grey and sky blue to a mixture of black and beige, the colour scheme did justice to the styling of the garments.

Whereas, MSGM displayed a plethora of checked prints along with the introduction of youthful tailoring and denim pieces, into the collection. Presented on the runway were multi-coloured casual wear garments, ideal for a beach walk, at the movies and casual hangouts. Replete of retro colours and easy to wear tailoring, the collection was accessorised by comfortable footwear which included cool floaters, loafers and slippers in yet again youthful bright colours. The garments included plus sized shirts, tees, sweatshirts, long coats, boxers, over-sized capris and zipped jackets. Moreover, the designer took the bold attempt of reintroducing the waist-tied sweater trend with creative innovation.

To accessorise, the designer also showcased a couple of wallets and handbags for men, extremely posh and stylish. Moreover, the tie with each suit gave the gentlemen look a much needed requirement for office goers. All in all, the collection spoke for itself with the epitome of sophistication and classiness.

Finally, the very luxurious and royal Versace came up next with a Cuban inspired collection along with the brand’s very fondness for sensuality. The show opened with some rare feminine yet suitable colours like pink and violet, followed by the conventional beige, sky blue, grey and the very expected black and white. However, the designer kept the tailoring relaxed juxtaposed with some very loud embellishments and silhouettes. Also displayed were a couple of see-through shirts, ganjis and shorts which were extremely appealing and comfortable. Furthermore, the designer also presented a few swim wears which were completely breath-taking, along with some sumptuous formal suits.
