Athiya who sparkled on the ramp like a princess in a majestic blue-golden dress said, "I have always been an admirer of Shyamal and Bhumika and been inspired by Indian art and craft. The play of colours and the silhouettes in their designs are stunning and it is my absolute pleasure and honour to be the showstopper for their first ever association with India Couture Week," she added.
 
The Princess’s Soiree collection had an eclectic mix of artisanal crafts, a fascinating play of colours & timeless silhouettes. The duo took inspiration from rich Indian heritage & history and used its precious crafts and artisanal techniques, creating couture collections relevant to modern day sensibilities.

On this exciting association, Shyamal and Bhumika in a statement said, “We are excited to be associated with the FDCI and be a part of India Couture Week. This is a platform that has been promoting couture and craft over the last ten years and we couldn’t be happier to be a part of this milestone. This is our first ever show at the India Couture Week and we look forward to presenting ‘The Princess’s Soiree’ to everyone.”
 
The collection featured European details, Victorian inspirations and Baroque decorations amalgamated with rich Indian heritage. The colour story of the new line ranges from champagne golds, ruby wine, verdant green, coral blue & the staple black.
 
The collection consists of floor sweeping gowns, sheer tulle capes, ruffled blouses, supple frills, belted waists, kalidaar jackets & lehengas. Traditional zardozi and aari work have been extensively used using glass pipes, zari, beads and dabka with an unconventional twist to illustrate the amalgamation of the varied styles that have moulded their inspiration.
