<p>Designers Mrinalini and Jenhum Gadi brought out the message of non-violence, anti-racism and an overturning of Section 377 of the IPC through their respective collections on the final day of Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WLIFW) Autumn/Winter 2014 here.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Mrinalini, whose collection was inspired by the picturesque Kashmir valley, said she wanted to give the message of peace through her collection. Titled as 'Kashmir',"I wanted to present this collection a year ago but it couldn't happen. The collection had been on my system for one year. I was actually waiting for this autumn/winter season to happen so that I can rework on my collection," Mrinalini told PTI.<br /><br />"When I had been to Kashmir, I felt the aggression in the people and I depicted that through my collection. I hope someday there will be some peace in the valley," she added.<br /><br />Her collection was divided into four sections -- Massive attack, Lal Bazar, Bandage and Gulmarg -- and outfits were designed keeping the sensibilities intact for each part.<br /><br />"Massive attack is directly related to aggression. After that I have moved to Lal Bazar where I introduced layered Pathani suit. It's one of the busiest places in Srinagar where maximum protests happen," she said.<br /><br />"Then I introduced my bandage line, which means healing. And lastly is the Gulmarg, where I have played with the Sufiana style," she added.<br /><br />The colour palette ranged from earthy browns, greys to ivories and whites.<br /><br />Whereas, Arunachal based designer Jenjum's appealed his audience to support homosexuality and stop racism towards people of North-East through the drama he depicted on the ramp.<br /><br />Models sashayed down the runway by holding hands of each other and the background score talked about the racism.<br /><br />"Being a designer from North-East I wanted to say people to stop racism towards us. We are equally a part of this country. Models walked the ramp by holding hands because I wanted to show support towards homosexuality. We should not forget that we are human beings first," he said.<br /><br />His collection was an amalgamation of Turkish delight and North-East beauty. Outfits had loads of gold work (inspired by the famous gold market of Istanbul) and they were teamed up with beads jewellery of the state.</p>
