Bollywood newbie Kiara Advani was the showstopper for the designer. She wore a black fitted dress with a layered, textured and structured bodice. The floor-length cape sleeves were a perfect addition to this fierce yet mesmerizingly appealing silhouette.
 
The collection highlighted the human traits of love, courage, valour, righteousness, hatred, revenge and violence.

With silhouettes inspired by the 1960’s the range showcased striking ensembles that matched the avant-garde look. Creating a blend of new techniques and classics, were suiting textured fabrics like checks with a woollen blend progressing to Neoprene.
 
Glitter was scattered to add sparkle to the otherwise matte fabrics. With silhouettes that were body-hugging and sexy in their appeal, the space-aged collection was structured with perfection. Ruffles and jumpsuits with tight belts added to the appeal and confidence of the ensembles.
 
Each garment was totally unconventional in its appeal. Muted earthy colours with khaki browns were mesmerizingly fused since both the icons were born from the elements of earth.
