“ The collection signifies the profound significance of both people and craftsmen to our brand. In Shraddha’s lehenga, the embroidery frame (on Adda) symbolizes the dedicated work of embroiderers. The song “Kun Faya Kun,” (played while she walked the ramp) in Arabic means “Be, and it is”, it relates to the divine creator, reflecting our belief that embroiderers hold a god-like status to us. As designers, we provide only direction while they bring life to a plain frame.”
