Modern cuts, fitted silhouettes, and a fluorescent colour palette brought the show to life.

The amalgamation of prints somehow worked, and created a vibrantly beautiful aesthetic.
Real silver Gota and Dabka embroidery was worked into the garments, and added an essence of cultural charm to Sheth’s collection.
No fashion show would be complete without the presence of supermodel, Lisa Haydon, who walked the ramp for Swati Vijaivargie.
Influenced by the Mauj Dhurrie type of weaving, Swati’s collection, titled ‘Majul’, consisted of leftover waste threads and woven fabrics.
