9. Punit Balana: Muneer
“Muneer comes from a very honest place in my heart. It’s the aftermath of a long silence. Not just time and effort, but there’s a lot of honesty that’s gone into creating Muneer. And I cannot wait to break this very silence and share the collection with you”, Punit Balana said about his collection.
10. Pink Peacock Couture: Adorn
Pink Peacock Couture showcases a bejewelled collection, inspired by the romance of the Elizabethan Era. The collection embodies and graces today’s modern-day occasions.
