Monapali | Resort Elegance
Mona Pali’s collection showcases a resort-wear-meets-tribal theme, paying ode to the craft of filigree and jaali work in the collection. Delicate embroidery using mesh, bead, thread, dori with hand paint, discharge print and bold graphical patterns to bend in an easy silhouette in soft fabrics that form the backbone of the collection.
Swapan & Seema | Splendour
Swapan and Seema’s collection highlights the opulent and detailed embroidery of Indian craftsmanship. There is a profusion of the damask pattern – the embroidery is delicate and contemporary. The floral motifs offset the glamorous tilt of the collection. Sparkling zardosi work, metallic finishes and flashes of saturated hues made this a memorable collection. Greys, black corals, and rust dominated and also the softer beige and brown. Their selection of fabrics like silk, chiffon and satin, contributed a sense of luxury to the entire collection.

The day wear look was achieved using sheer Chanderis and double weave organza with subtle self-surface techniques. A chic, reversible, clean look is presented with rich jacquard silk jackets.
