1. Masaba X Koovs
Masaba’s collaboration with favourite e-commerce site Koovs was totally off the rails! The athleisure wear capsule collection is a combination of quirky prints in the forms of chocolate, chewing gum, and dumbells! Rad, right? Designer Masaba is known for her funky prints, but bringing it together seamlessly to workout clothes looks utterly fab. Wear it to the gym, or for brunch with the girls, the pieces are your everyday fashion statements, but with that crazy twist.
2. Sabyasachi Dropped His Latest Collection On Insta
Ace designer Sabyasachi dropped his spring couture collection 2017, once again through his official Instagram account.

5. Hijabi Girl Walks Ramp FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER
For the first time in international fashion history, a Hijabi girl has walked the ramp for designer labels.
