It was a moment of celebration, not only for the designer’s hard work but for the future of the brand.
Speaking at the event, Gazal Shaikh shared: “This journey has been one of passion and perseverance. Every creation is a testament to the artistry and heritage I want to preserve while making it relevant for today’s women.
