elegant.

The touch neck dress with rounded shoulders make it
an apt choice for a corporate dress for our fashion
smart woman.

7. Monochromatic colours
combined with embroidery
to add an element of design
pattern.
XX pattern (left) &
wizard pattern (right) are
created using thread
embroidery.

8. The unique original
texture achieved with thin
cords, combined with
ombre dyeing technique
makes it every bit
glamorous for our woman
who likes to experiment
with patterns & textures
keeping the silhouettes
classic.

9. The origami hand done texture in a solid black or a digital print made in a
texture off-shoulder dress makes my woman every bit stylish.

10. Would love to dress my lady in a slightly different pattern like a Taffeta A-line pleated
dress (Left) or play with two different fabrics (organza and silk) to form a design pattern
(center), or go all the way with metallics, used in a print form (right).

11. The original self developed prints, printed digitally on Indian Raw / slub silk fabric. The
silhouettes throughout are consciously kept similar.
Here in particular we let our woman experiment with necklines and have a play of colours
yet keeping it not so busy.

12. The woman I design
for is confident & thus she
does not shy away from
experimenting with
something as different as
organza dresses, which are
exclusively hand painted.

13. The pleated structured dress makes a perfect wear for our confident lady
in solid colours, for a pattern like these, we can have plenty of colour options
ranging from blacks, nude or as in image a gold yellow or violet.

14. The laser cut stripes made into basket weave
unevenly raised pattern using hand embroidery,
and made into a formal jacket in black colour
which makes it perfect corporate wear.
