Feeling the magic and beauty of his new-born inspired him to start this collection to find newer meanings of love. The featured collection is strongly focused on the shades of royal blue, black, cream, beige, brown and purple. Fusing a bit of India by techniques like printing, weaving and embroidery, he kept the outfits a bit contemporary.
