Experiments rule the collection where frosted canvases, linen wool, lurex, Banarasi silk, cotton and fabrics with metallic lacquer find a home. The palette possessed all shades of gray, charcoal and black.

The line offers boxy jackets, peg skirts, kimono sleeves, skinny trousers, wallpaper stockings, knee skimming dresses, embroidery veiled with tulle and sheeted fastenings emphasising very high waist.

Meanwhile, with a concern for the ecology, Ritu Kumar's collection "Urban Roots" splashed vegetable colours on the ramp. Traditional Kangra paintings lending foliage and colour to camouflage prints resulted in fusion of distinct styles. The colour palette includes earthy shades of browns, forest greens and rich ochres. The drama of these pieces is epitomised in fluid skirts and jersey tops.

Cotton and wring spun denims infused with various bleaching techniques and embroidery to create the dramatic look. "Through the collection we are looking at our roots and our ecology. Keeping in mind the ecology I have only used vegetable colours and natural fabrics like cotton in my collection. I think the girls were looking really great in them," said Ritu.
