According to runner up Srijita Ghosh from Kolkata, the styling inspired by anime and fictional characters from the gaming world would be a huge trend in the future. For her second ensemble, she showcased a ravishing look using 5 different tops and called out print on print as a big fashion trend. Ekanshi Singhal from Ahmedabad put together two spectacular ensembles to highlight her concept of ‘casual is the new formal’ and showcased how bright colours will never go out of vogue!
It was delightful to watch the winner Prakhar Narayan’s gender fluid look as he also used garments from the women's section. Prakhar took everyone by surprise as he creatively used bobby pins and earrings as badges along with palazzos and showcased his outstanding style statement. He also impressed the judges with his second look in which he used 3 different shirts to make one shirt and highlighted new ways of mix and match and layering.
