The designer duo of label ANKY will be showcasing for the first time at the VHIMW, opening on Friday.

Looking at a void in the semi-formal club lounge, the duo has churned out a collection that one can wear for a Friday night out or for relaxed outings with friends and also at a friend's wedding.

"We have focused more on shirts. Though our line does have some drop crotch pants, we have reworked on classical designs through out-of-context use of fabrics and given it a new dimension," Anjana told IANS.

The two have only various shades of white for this line with innovative built-up collar and out of proportion layering. Fabrics used in the line are soft cottons, hand crushed silks and

mix.

"The traditional kurta has also been given a new dimension. Our line has kurta inspired shirts, a lot of 3-D pockets have been used and we have experimented a lot with collars," Anjana said.

The two will showcase 25 sets on the ramp and the collection is priced between Rs.3,500 for a shirt to Rs.22,000 for a shirt-trouser set.
