Within a month's time of completing his first fashion show, he put together an 8-Look Spring/Summer Collection. Gangwani wanted a challenge; with minimal experience for womenswear he feared not and pushed himself to try something new. A great experience with positive feedback and new sets of eyes on his attention to detail.
