This collection is an ode to the unconventional, the bold, and the beautiful. Together, we've woven a tapestry of style that celebrates individuality and blurs the lines between fashion and art. Each frame tells a story, an expression of creativity. I'm excited to see how wearers embrace these pieces and make them integral to their unique journeys.", says Fashion Luminary, Masaba Gupta.
