The delicateness of intricacy was then peppered with the ruggedness of the biker jackets which also made an appearance on the ramp. Apart from the richness of Indian looms and weaves, there was a lot of choice in terms of the elegant textures, indo-western silhouettes, vintage and middle-eastern influence. Gender free garments are the order of the day and the highlight of the show was a unisex garment which was introduced in free size.
