Priyanka’s Collection pays homage to Goddess Lakshmi’s element, the lotus, and is inspired by the Hindu goddess Lakshmi. It not only represents beauty, transparency, growth, power, and eternity, it is also the national flower of India. Indian women who choose to demonstrate their strength via femininity were her intended audience. She designed clothes that are best suited for formal parties, weddings and festivals.

“Apart from fashion designing, I am also interested in the world of art and ‘Vincent Van Gogh’ is my favourite painter. I was inspired by his iconic painting, ‘The Starry Night,’ and tried to mix my style and technique with his to make my collection.”
