All silhouettes strike balance with pattern construction and flow, and have also incorporated a mild 50s touch to his collection, giving it a very today trend. The collection portrays a solemn and mysterious landscape that has inspired me to personify this concept into a collection of constructed and slightly futuristic appeal, the moon with its magical surface and luminance allows me to use the colors that are much shooting to the eye, like a very controlled ivory and diluted watery gold, dusty beige and deep greys.” Says Ken Ferns Talking about the starry event, Vikram Singh Verma, COO, Smile Foundation said “Through Ramp of Champs we aim to bring high fashion and the power of celebrities in aid of the least fortunate among our children.
