Bringing back the beauty of Indian textiles, Sanjay displayed hand-woven engineered fabrics that created a panel size repeat of large curvilinear designs. Having researched and worked in various weaving clusters in India, Sanjay selected Varanasi for this intricate design and pattern. The gorgeous collections were created in the kadwa brocade technique of Varanasi, where the ornamentation of motifs use extra weft.

Inspired by the attire and lifestyle of vintage royal Indian families, Soumitra had skilled craftsmen to recreate the fabrics. The jamdani, khadi, silk and cottons with a twist in the weaves, displayed a predominantly beige colour story with hints of pink and gold. Aimed at modern Indian woman who adores the aristocratic look, Soumitra offered silhouettes that ranged from A-line, knee, and ankle-length for bundgalas, tops and jackets. Saris appeared in gorgeous weaves to appease the desires of the traditional dresser.

Saris were elegantly regal with tiny butties splashed all over or with luxurious resham borders showing hints of glitter. Stylish bundgalas with parallel pants, capris with kurtas sported tonal embroidery, flared mini kurti and a reversible waistcoat were ideal for semi formal wear. Going in for more intense embellishments, Soumitra had silk motifs that cascaded down shoulders to waist for garments often teamed with wide flared pants. Mirror work gradually crept in for a long sleeved kurta and the final peach lehenga, choli and dupatta were ideal wedding attire.
