The program’s expertise was applied in a diverse wardrobe inspired by different cultures and heritages. It included sophisticated evening coats, sari-inspired straight skirts, traditional Indian cuts, pants, boleros, jackets, and tops. The color palette also celebrated shared influences, with a color block sequence featuring shades of green, yellow, pink, and purple as an homage to Marc Bohan.
