Flowers never fail to bring a smile to designer Ranna Gill's face.
That's why her Lakme Fashion Week x FDCI collection was her living floral fantasy.
'The name Casa dei Fiori comes from my travels through Italy. That's where I cherished my time amidst sprawling estates with cobblestone roads, manicured lawns, and dazzling gardens', said the designer, who divides time between New Delhi and New York.
