3. Personal philosophy
I believe that fashion is not about the designer
but the consumer. Everyone deserves to be
happy in their skin, love themselves, and have
the confidence to face the challenges they will
have in life. Everyone is different and although
there may be similarities in styles, no one
choice is correct. That should be celebrated.
10. Boho look – embroidery inspired
from bohemian fashion culture.
Attracted by the colors, bold and
vibrant look.
11.
12. Razzmatazz – Inspired by the beauty of the
glitters, razzle dazzle. Party wear created
to attract the attention in crowed, dramatic,
and bold those who loves to do party and
wants to be center attraction.

rich and luxe look. Bold
coloured velvet is
