It was exciting to learn that this season, a couple of emerging designers would be handed over the mantle to helm the grand finale at the Mumbai Fashion Week Winter/Festive season, but what transpired was less than expected.

The show, which featured lines by Kallol Datta, and Pankaj-Nidhi would have been acceptable as a regular show, but as a grand finale, it did not bring forth the magnitude and failed to rise to the level that one expects from grand finale shows at fashion weeks, especially going by what has been showcased for years until now.
