This collection was one more move towards popularizing these forgotten arts that help generate employment at the source that go a long way towards keeping it alive.

The collection is very close to my heart as I enjoyed every minute and there was a lot of hard work put into it. I have used mirage of Gujarati mirror-work embellish the subtle “red-carpet” green dresses that bolsters my commitment towards working with the arts of the region, of which there are merely a few exponents today.”
