"The line is totally inspired by the northern lights which have beautiful colours," Dolly told IANS. Up next was Ekru, which showcased a line titled Ekla, taken from legendary poet Rabindranath Tagore's lyrical anthology "Gitabitan".
Sophie Choudry opted for a mesh pink gown, paired with a silver peplum top for the fashion show.
Soundarya Sharma, who has featured in the film "Ranchi Diaries" sauntered the runway in royal blue deep-necked ruffled choli paired with a geometric and floral print lehenga. "Florals and prints become my USP for my collection and this season we have used a lot of sustainable fabric like Khadi silk," Parashar said.
The collection brought the cultural wearing styles of old Bengal. Some drapes were inspired by the Brahmika sari. The silhouettes saw an intricate mix of fluid draping and traditional cutting.
