The threads of the Indus came alive to the strains of old teen taal strung Punjabi folk songs as Ritu Kumar presented her collection at LIFW 2005. Her multi-hued line, which launched the sixth fashion, consisted mainly of separates. In the picture is a long coat embellished with the signature Ritu Kumar gold threadwork. Ritu paired this with a long skirt.Photograph: Jewella C Miranda
