While most of the designers completely forgot that they are showcasing for Autumn/Winter, Rina Dhaka preferred to stick to the theme and presented a collection that had interesting jackets and clothes that can be easily worn with layers and drapes.

She was inspired by the fashion of the 1990s. “My collection delved into ancestral Indian textiles mixed with digital prints on the clothes. The designs are very upfront, edgy and modern with the 90’s vibe. The contemporary dresses with a puff organza sleeves is truly a reminiscent of the 90s,” she said.

The ensembles featured straight shifts and drop waist silhouettes, A-line dresses with black as the reigning colour along with blends of gray, maroon and white.

The fabrics varied from chiffons, georgettes, organzas with prints of monochrome paisley, red and yellow ikat, tweed and honeycomb.
