Mrinalini, whose collection was inspired by the picturesque Kashmir valley, said she wanted to give the message of peace through her collection. Titled as 'Kashmir',
"I wanted to present this collection a year ago but it couldn't happen. The collection had been on my system for one year. I was actually waiting for this autumn/winter season to happen so that I can rework on my collection," Mrinalini told PTI.
Her collection was divided into four sections -- Massive attack, Lal Bazar, Bandage and Gulmarg -- and outfits were designed keeping the sensibilities intact for each part.
"Massive attack is directly related to aggression. After that I have moved to Lal Bazar where I introduced layered Pathani suit. It's one of the busiest places in Srinagar where maximum protests happen," she said.
"Then I introduced my bandage line, which means healing. And lastly is the Gulmarg, where I have played with the Sufiana style," she added.
Whereas, Arunachal based designer Jenjum's appealed his audience to support homosexuality and stop racism towards people of North-East through the drama he depicted on the ramp.
Models sashayed down the runway by holding hands of each other and the background score talked about the racism.
"Being a designer from North-East I wanted to say people to stop racism towards us. We are equally a part of this country. Models walked the ramp by holding hands because I wanted to show support towards homosexuality. We should not forget that we are human beings first," he said.
