India's Ritu Agnihotri pays homage to the vibrant city of Mumbai with a gorgeous garment featuring hand-block printed motifs typical of the elegant Kota Doria textiles. This cotton and silk midi skirt features a leafy redwood pattern layered on top of small navy circles. The skirt features an elastic waistband and a zipper closure on the side seam, allowing a comfortable fit. The hem ruffle is printed in a midnight hue with a combination of chevron and striped motifs.

The rich artistic heritage of Central Asia includes the decorative tradition of Suzani embroidery. Ripe pomegranates adorn the front, the old-world symbol of abundance and prosperity, while vines and leaves are brought to life by silk threads in pretty colors, all hand stitched onto a silk and cotton base. The backside showcases the artistry of hand woven ikat, another cherished textile tradition of Central Asia. Complete with a hidden zip closure, the cushion cover is a testament to the timeless elegance and craftsmanship that defines this extraordinary art form. The Uzbekistani team puts their expertise into practice to create the embroidered pomegranate-themed scene that adorns the front, often used as omens of fertility and abundance. The accessory, made in silk fabrics and threads features a contrasting cotton ikat farbic ornamenting the back, concealing the zipper opening.
