The line features casual wears as well as more enchanting attires that could be the highlight for day or night outing. It has a male and female version too.

Then this year, the recession continued, and it was affecting the sales of our native outfits and I also thought of reaching out to more young people out there; something more youthful and affordable. So, I came up with this Renaissance designs”, he said.
Expatiating on his new creation, the about-to-wed fashion icon said originality is evident in the new piece, which reflects elaborate magical details.
