The collection is a celebration of the modern Indian woman and her strengths. It brings to life elements of purity and grace, along with the feminine softness. The collection exudes warmth and elegance along with capturing the lightness and romance through its silhouettes, which are comfortable, edgy, statement-making yet subtle. The colour palette this season is dominated by hues of blue from powder to midnight to turquoise and royal, fuschia and mustard yellow -- all of which are vibrant.

Nikhita Mangeshkar is a young and vibrant fashion designer based in Mumbai, who started her eponymous label a year back after graduating in fashion designing from the Raffles Design International in Mumbai. "I had a degree in microbiology but my passion lied in fashion always," tells Nikhita, who worked as a designer for the brand Anj before starting out on her own. Her first collection, which was showcased at India Beach Fashion Week in October 2018, was inspired by seasonal trends that integrated intricate Indian embroidery with a modern twist. "I am committed to creating wearable and comfortable beautiful garments that suit the Indian body type," says Nikhita. Being an animal lover, she makes conscious efforts as a fashion designer to create garments which are cruelty- free and which empower Indian crafts and designs.
