Peachoo will show an Indo- western collection
Saaksha & Kinni are bringing their western wear. Think “bold prints, metal and stone embroidery techniques and our love of Indian fabrics”.
SVA are travelling to Morocco as an inspiration. “Our signature drapes are drenched in a bold pop of festive hues. Intricate Islamic architecture played the main muse to create such neo- geometric patterns and prints. Bold stripes, geometric florals, intricate tile prints are blended into this poetic motley,” is the word from Team SVA.
