The white on white dori and aari embroidered collection is layered with long tunics with asymmetrical hemlines and worn with draped dhoti trousers and flared sharara pants, the sheer sarees are worn over printed and embroidered petticoats and the short capes with narrow pencil pants make the collection trendy and youthful.

Floral abstract artworks are on gathered skirts with off shoulder blouses, long flared gowns and brown and maroon shared chiffon sarees with ribbon embroidery are feminine and glamorous. The princess gowns in aqua and baby pink are with trails with a generous embellishment of sequin and Swarovski crystals. The drape sarees in mint green have short drapes and corseted blouses.
