blurred lines between the men and the women and to produce something
which is more individual and conveys and speaks for the wearer.

"My shirt and my girlfriend's pants"

The collection is inspired by the disco’s attendees of 60’s, not confining

their fashion to what society taught but showed who they actually are.

inspiration for today. Red carpet appearances by Harry Styles, Ranveer
Singh, Timothee etc are to be looked for. Designers for reference are Kim

collection. Along with that, the ongoing celebrity culture has also influenced

The collection here derives inspiration
from parts of Car,s engine. The materials
used here are waste materials collected
from places and then are embroidered on
old denims. The mood here created are
very rebellious and strong. The climatic
disruption, and humans continuously
destroying the plants are the points-that
initially shaped the design process.
All the materials used here are waste
material hence mixing and matching is
used to design.
