IMAGE: The collection is inspired by the time Mishra spent in Italy.
IMAGE: Mishra says, 'Italy, like a second home, has always had a special place in my heart.
'Since my initial days as a designer studying in Milano, I have found influence in the Italian history of art, fashion and architecture.
'And it has significantly contributed to my overall perspective of design and helped shape my point of view towards the application of Indian craft in contemporary fashion.'
