COLLECTION BRIEF -"BOOND"
This collection was inspired by the magic of the Raindrops, which translated into small pearls in our designs. "Boond" plays on the Feminine and Masculine references inspired by Chhaya's personal style.
The dominant influence of this collection is the traditional style which is modernised & embellished. Colours are taken from the elements of nature, building a collection of beautiful, wearable outfits.
