Company Philosophy: to show Indian sophistication in a western genre

My Comments: This is not just another Indian company attempting to copy western ideas, this is a highly sophisticated collection made and designed in India for the Western market, already selling with huge success in the USA , where they do regular cat walk shows and recently returned triumphant from San Francisco with a very large order book.
Made to the very highest couture standards.
The company has strong financial backing and will certainly make a name for itself in the next few years.
