Summer 2014 for me is about the feelings and emotions this modern day romance evokes”.

The collection featured visible zip saris and summer skirt lehengas with pockets, dress-styled kurtas and easy slim pants. The fabric was threads mixed with metal and mirror with embroidery, tones and prints in shades of midnight blue, beige , peach and grays.
