Sonia’s creations reflect elegant sensuality, with a modern attitude offering an artistic touch, tempered with technical discipline, where garments are modern in form and Indian in expressions with colors and embroideries interplaying in a distinctive Sonia Jetleey style. Her success can largely be attributed to her view that fashion is an intrinsic part of life and therefore the lines emerge as eminently wearable.  Comfortable variations in styling retain client interest.
