I remember then hearing peals of laughter as children ran around the village delighted at the bloom of bougainvillaea, or Kagaj Baha as they called it. These are memories that always put a smile on my face and remind me of the simple pleasures in life. I wanted to infuse this festive collection with that same sense of joy and wonder filling it with striking visuals like the bougainvillea does in every corner,” the designer explains.
