IMAGE: The collection has been inspired by a 17th century book called Hortus Malabaricus by Hendrik van Reede. It is the first botanical record written about the flora of the Malabar Coast.

 

IMAGE: Hortus Malabaricus literally means 'Garden of Malabar'. And this collection captures the best local flora there.

 

IMAGE: Sustainable. Eco-friendly. Natural. These designs are apt for 2020. 

 

IMAGE: Move over fast fashion. These looks are here to stay :)

Watch the show here.
