Inspired by India's Mughal architecture, Isha Jain designs this charming knee-length dress.

Ully's gorgeous trench coat combines timeless style with traditional Indonesian ikat. Crafted from 100% linen in classic black, the coat is accented with a diamond motif on Bemberg "silk", actually a special type of rayon. The patterned trim is artfully used on the lapels, belt and the underside of the cuffs to be hidden or exposed at the wearer's discretion. The double breasted coat is fully lined with 100% cotton and is completed with two front inset pockets.

India's Ajay Kapoor creates a dapper men's long-sleeved shirt using soft yarns made from a blend of cotton and linen. With a herringbone pattern band adorning the front pocket, the garment features an over-dying style that adds a bohemian look to his creation, all in a solid grey hue. On top of that, reinforced sections at the chest pocket and shirttail hem and an overstitched accent on the right sleeve cuff allow for a rugged, homespun charm that makes the shirt perfect for any occasion.
