Mumbai, Sunday, August 5, 2012: Swati Vijaivargie Jain pays a tribute to her roots. Hailing from Jaipur, Rajasthan her collection revolved around the concept of Indian celebration with traditional Rajasthani work.
Using rich and flamboyant fabrics such as silks, georgettes, crepes and chiffons, the shade card focused on bright, fun colours such as tones of red, yellow, orange, pink, blue, green and purple, which beautifully reflected the idea of colourful Indian festivals and celebrations.
