The line is romantic with a sweet Bollywood vibe, as several pieces are voluminous and flowing. The exotic theme comes from super wide-legged gaucho pants in jewel tones, [sari-like t-shirt dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anamika-khanna-x-hm) and embroidered jackets. Also included in this line is a series of electric-blue pieces. The color can be seen in high-waisted, straight-legged trousers, booty shorts and color-block frocks. The neon color gives the otherwise bohemian series an urban feel. Other fun pieces include leather go go shorts and [straight-level platform sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rahul-mishra).
