Setting the tone for brighter, better times, Shukoolaa, which means white and bright, used white as the base colour of this collection, highlighted with silver and gold motifs. It has a range of Indo-Western ensembles, saris, lehengas, floor-kissing skirts, an assortment of cropped blouses and regal gowns. Showstopper, actress Lara Dutta wore a white/gold Mekhela Chador (a sari from Assam that has two pieces of clothes) with a demure white long-sleeved backless choli.
