    With a very cosmopolitan approach towards traditional fashion, the designer showcased a collection that explored various untouched crafts in our multi-cultural country. From traditional Khadi to exclusive hand-dyeing techniques, garments were apt for a modern woman looking for a quintessentially classic wardrobe. A lot fabrics like lightweight linen, Matka silk, selvedge denim and organic cotton were used to create effortless garments drenched in subtle tones of indigo, mustard, rust, forest green and smoky black. Wrap-up scarves and canvas sneakers were a perfect accessory duo for the effortless liquidy pieces. Loose-fitted coats with slouched shoulders were matched with harem pants, as tailored jackets were patch worked with square-shaped pieces of matte leather. Crinkled anarkalis were worn under slim-fit churidar pants and the heritage ‘kurta’ was transformed into the very modern ‘tunic’. Loads of quilting and block printing was done onto the exceptionally well-crafted garments and attention was paid to the fine tailoring and cuts present in each look. Raw silk saris were worn over full-sleeved blouses, as triangular patterns were imprinted onto belted waistcoats gathered at the bottom. A lot of boat necks as well as deep-V’s were incorporated onto asymmetric dresses that had unstructured hems and buttoned bodices.
