The inspiration of the collection was the Art Deco movement. There was a mix of dresses, kaftans, and wrap tunics with flattering necklines. The colour palette ranged from yellow, orange, red, black, white, gold, and rust and so on.

Aztec was a prominent feature in the collection. There were a lot of tribal elements in the collection like kaftans with Aztec prints, geometric motifs and vibrant colours. A metal and jute jumpsuit caught our attention. It had Aztec motifs too and looked very impressive.
Floral lehengas with a contemporary touch was seen in the collection. The decorative aspect of the art was observed in all of the ensembles. Bold floral zari work on cholis and short jackets were the order of the day. Layered lehengas in floral printed velvet fabrics were also seen.

Long kurtas paired with long skirts and stoles, embellished lehengas with crochet detailing on the dupattas and sheer jackets over cholis formed the collection. The mix of fabrics and colours were perfectly in tune with the theme. The pre-independence era was revisited in the second part of the collection.
