ANVITA SHARMA’S LABEL TWO POINT TWO
Her winning collection “Behind Closed Doors”, was an ode to faith, hope, compassion, solidarity, camaraderie and above all, love. It was a line of apparel that paid homage to the sustainable alternatives in fashion that are of utmost importance to save the planet.
Key Features
The garments were a vibrant burst of colours made from organic textiles that were creatively developed with fibres of rose petals, oranges, lotuses and organic cotton. The silhouettes of the collection spoke of the desire to travel or spend time at home. Working with two vibrant prints – pink and blue checks and an exotic indigo face design – Anvita used them freely to cover the fabric base.
The designer said, “ I am truly honoured and ecstatic for Two Point Two to have won Nexa presents The Spotlight. Our visions and philosophies align perfectly with Nexa’s core values. They gave me full freedom to express my emotions through this collection and were very supportive of innovation and creativity.”
