Rina Singh said on her Collection
“I wanted to present this collection to a larger, bigger audience and bring in more visibility. We shot in Shillong against the backdrop of mountains and sheer nothingness… It makes the diaphanous organza, the heavy structured wool and silk layers – render beautifully in the magnanimity of the Himalayas. The expression of fashion is something that I have learnt and will cherish for many collections to come. I am very excited to have been a part of this edition of FDCI x Lakmé Fashion Week, the new format and collaboration brings bigger and better opportunities for all of us across boundaries.”
