When East Meet West

By Super

It is a term we regrettably associate more with some spheres of activity and less with others.

A result of these attempts are exotic attires inspired by color-bold and beautiful Indian States like Punjab, Kashmir, Rajasthan and Calcutta- with effective reflection of Indian art and culture on the World's fashion map.
