The erroneous perception of the surroundings generating an alternative delusional reality is a direct confrontation between unconscious fantasy & verifiable facts. Drawing inspiration from "The Ghettos", this collection, ‘The Fashion Ghetto’ embodies the conflict between the ordinary & the transformation to the extraordinary by default. The collection resorts to techniques of reconstruction. Shaped garments like jacket dresses etc are superimposed to express radical dissociations using a lot of quilting, shibori etc. Conventional fabrics combined with feminine luxurious Silk's, cotton jacquards; block prints with sequence to demonstrate new associations.  The colour palette consists of Grey, green, blue, black and brown.

Prashant Verma represents an aesthetic nurtured by the story of human courage and vitality. Charged with provocative historical and philosophical references, it represents a history of power, in all its uncompromising glory, through the unedited depiction of his journey of life, exaggerated through metaphors from the larger journey of mankind. Having trained at Alexander McQueen, Philip Traecy, John Galliano and Dior, yet focused on building a body of work that extends beyond fashion and portrays the complexities of an inner and private artistic battle – pulled out and exhibited as if all his work is a performance … as if this performance is his life.

Preeti Jhawar is one of India's most candid designing ‘resource’ who launched her label in 2001 with outfits that have ‘robed’ celebrities in India and abroad. According to her, two forces are always at work in fashion: innocence and its brazen opposite. But what is amazing about her is how she manages always to work both notions into her presentations, season after season. Her clothes too spell vivacity and freshness in bubbly colours and prints accentuated with exquisite embroidery and uniquely processed fabrics. They are never about wallflowers. Instead, she seems to love a kind of overt, hip fashion that manages to be both saucy and sweet, and she has a knack for combining the familiar and the frivolous in a way that starts from “want-to-haves” to “got-to-haves”!

With garnering such irresistible collections year after year and a clientele to ouch for – the label sure has come a long way and become the most coveted in a wardrobe of the elites.

Minimalistic and structured, the collection consists of quilted skirts, jackets, structured dresses, and textured tops, in tones of  blacks , browns and burgundies fused with reds, deep ochres , burnt oranges  inter mingled with softly sculpted silhouettes to complete this Autumn Winter Collection.
