Talking exclusively to ANI about her latest collection, Khanna said, “There’s a lot of handcraft, there’s a lot of marriage of old world with contemporary settings and there’s a lot of techniques that we’ve used, there’s a lot of art that we’ve amalgamated into the collection as well. In the whole collection there was so much experimentation, it’s a tough collection that I was trying to pull off.”
Khanna displayed her outfits that had both a sequence and were influenced by art that have both contemporary and vintage elements.
Talking about how much time it took her to create the collection, she shared, “Sometimes it just takes months and months, it’s the thought that takes much more time.”
