Tushar Ved, President of Major Brands India Pvt Ltd — a franchise for premier international fashion brands — said: “The collection is beautifully depicted through his (Jani) artwork which is a confluence of fashion and art.”
Talking about the collaboration, artist Jani said that he has tried to “immortalise the beautiful products”.
“The artworks also serve as practical visual presentations by helping to demonstrate what the shoes look like when worn on a daily basis, since a lot of the walking that we do is, in fact, on concrete,” Jani added.
