Velvet, suede, zari and silk gave in a charm look too. Each outfit from the collection was an example of creativity blended with innovation.

Designer’s selection of fabrics like silk, cotton fabric, velvets, satin helped make the range opulent with heavy golden embroidery, and shiny ‘zari’ work. Moreover this Rajputana Kumari collection also featured the models wearing heavy accessories in pearls, gold and luminous marble white jewels.
