Notably, The collection was inspired by a past trip to Varanasi where he had gone to source textiles.
As per the latest buzz, "It is very old Banaras... One of the last models who walked the ramp, she wore a beautiful cape with tree of life motif. I went to the city some 32-years ago to source textiles, and I made a cape, a similar cape with that tree of life motif. This time when I started with 'Kashi', I took the same artwork from something I had done years ago and built it with a Kashi landscape," he told reporters post show.
In further updates, "For me, it is very nostalgic and beautiful. It is an inspiration because it goes back to the tree of life, it goes back to spirituality, but I also wanted to make it modern," he added.
On top of that, Goel walked the ramp wearing a wine coloured lehenga with a contemporary twist to it. The attire featured an off-shoulder draped top and a mermaid-tail skirt with heavy sequin details all over.
"When I saw his vision, and I sort of envisioned myself in it, all I knew is I am going to feel pretty tonight... I am super grateful, and I love the collection," she added.
