On Sunday, September 13, Indian designer Archana Kochhar debuted her Spring/Summer 2016 collection – Ahimsa R??ama – at Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Terminal, New York.
Kochhar – who selected ANOKHI12 for her North American debut earlier this year – returned to the continent to take part in FTL MODA’s New York Fashion Week showcase and tradeshow – on through September 17.
Ahead of her runway presentation on Sunday, Kochhar kicked off her NYFW debut with an exclusive collection preview on September 10. Actresses and former Miss India participants Natasha Suri and Simran Kaur Mundi joined Kochhar in unveiling the first look from Ahimsa R??ama.

ANOKHI MEDIA's President/CEO Raj Girn was at the premiere to lend support to her friend Archana.
We look forward to watching one of Bollywood’s favourite designers continue to gain recognition in the North American market – and can’t wait to see what she creates from her unique Ahimsa silk textiles next.
