Anita's dream to revive the precious crafts of the country like Ahir embroidery from Gujarat, ikat from Karnataka and Hyderabad, Gotta Patti from Rajasthan, weaves of Banaras, intricate Warli and hand block prints turned into a reality with her collection.

The fabrics in the collection were gorgeous silks from Bhagalpur with smooth textures. The varying styles moved from western to fusion in easy silhouettes with lavish crafts as the focal point of each entry. Anita added the beauty of block printing, Warli and embroidery to highlight the apparel.
