Today walking for this collection so beautifully designed by Sanjukta has been a pure delight, I wish her the best in helping safeguard the heritage and through her art focusing on the future too."
Speaking on the occasion , Soha Ali Khan said , " Associating with a fashion week and being a muse is always beautiful but what makes this even more special is how an age-old drape has been so fashionably redefined by Sanjukta and she blends a cause each year as a responsible fashion brand and work towards creating more awareness . I loved what she made for me and the motif was beautiful ."
Designer Sanjukta Dutta said, " It's a dream come true for me as I got an opportunity to work with Sharmila Ji whose songs have been such big influence in my growing up years and Soha as the new generation multi-talented personality is someone who defines the modern age woman for me. I am very happy to have them as my muses for the FDCI spring-summer collection ."
