Shray, a multidesigner boutique located at Raghuvanshi Mills Compound, Lower Parel, was a host to Mumbai’s discerning fashionistas. Spread over 2500 sq. ft, Shray is the brainchild of Abha Singhania which houses a wide range of women’s apparel and accessories.

Abha envisions Shray as Mumbai’s new fashion destination, housing established as well as emerging, gen-next designers from all over India. Sharing pride of place with their spring summer collection were designers like Rajat Tangri, Sherina Dalamal, Nachiket Barve,Priyadarshini Rao, Aneeth Arora,Vivek Karunakaran, Namrata Joshipura and others.

Rajat Tangri presented Bella Donna an art inspired Summer /Resort wear collection suggesting feminine elegance. The collection endeavors to articulate fascinating tale borrowed from a chic permutation of the Italian renaissance period and art that emerged during the cultural movement. The collection’s mood, detailing and texture is a stylish interpretation of renaissance art whilst maintaining the label’s philosophy of being feminine and sexy through classic yet contemporary silhouettes.

Another important highlight was the collections by UAE based designer Essa Bhagoorwalla whose creations can be founds exclusively in India only at Shray. Essa was the first designer to incorporate the “ghutra”, a fabric also known as the “keffiya” (the infamous pattern of the Arab state), which later went on to become a major international trend.
