On the choice of title, ‘The Grand Trunk Road’, the designer shares that she’s been following British historian William Dalrymple’s work dedicated to India and its surrounding areas.
One would find innovation of sorts in this particular collection. You can sport Kolkata kurtas with the motif of women dancers and 1850 era paisley designs.
According to Battla the collection embodies how ‘The Grand Trunk Road’ was a passage for the British people to enter India and how on their journey, they met fascinating storytellers and dancers.
Her luxury prêt limited edition is priced between Rs13000 to Rs24000 and the silk range consists of exclusively designed digital prints. Her cotton collection won’t be as steeply priced as her silk anthology though.
