Sometimes we are totally on board with the protractor states Sharad Kedia , renowned fashion Designer of Label “Dami”





The Pre- Fall collection is the right Ensembles to look for  if you’re looking for fashion that translates into everyday style. ‘Mid-season’ is one of our favourite times of the year. It’s a lot of what we’ll be seeing in our A /W collection in a couple weeks.

Especially in India, where the weather demands practical wear.

Besides giving a wardrobe filled with wearable looks, for the next 4 months. What this pre-fall  A/ W collection  would get is a  heads up on the biggest trends from its Clients.

The gorgeous dresses, Gowns, Tops and monochrome are still going on to be around.

But in a much more modern way

So let’s start with some basic geometrical angles or the diagonal to be precise.

A silhouette or pattern with this angle cuts your frame in half and lends a graphic feel.

Sometimes we are totally on board with  the protractor states Sharad Kedia , renowned fashion Designer of Label “Dami”

While details like fringes and bows around the neck are a great way to make any outfit cuter, one of my favourite trends is about pairing a Blazer with a dress , or a Tee over a dressy skirt.

But if all else fails and you are faced with that eternal what to wear- dilemma, turn around to muted or metallic .After all doesn’t a little shimmer make everything better?

To check out the latest collection pop in to our store at
