A SEPIA-TONED SOIRÉE

Designer Anavila Misra unveiled her latest collection 'Sarmast' in Hyderabad. The showcase was a poetic homage to the city's timeless mystique, artistic opulence, and soulful grace. A scene straight out of a sepia-toned era, saris rubbed shoulders with Mary Janes and embroidered skirts displayed their own love language. Bright reds, sea-greens and violets enjoyed the spotlight alongside the subtle beauty of pearls. Hosted at The Leela Hyderabad, the presentation was followed by a warm and welcoming soirée, attended by the who's who of the city. The evening also saw the first formal Indian retail debut of Anavila's home line.
