Malhotra revealed that his collection was inspired by the natural beauty and flora from the Kashmir Valley.

Pleated soft tulle gowns and flowy lehengas were presented in light pink, powder blue and mint green - colours reminiscent of a Kashmiri landscape.

However, the spotlight of the collection was on the exquisitely crafted details. 3D, applique embroidery of flowers in a vibrant palette nestled amidst traditional Kashmiri threadwork to create the perfect coming together of modern and classic influences.

There were sequinned blouses and tops with high-collars and accents of light feathers and bursts of pearls added a sense of drama to traditional outfits.
