Ranna's show was slated to take place on the day one of the WIFW, but all shows for that day were cancelled because the organisers -- Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) -- had failed to secure a clearance from the fire department of the city.

Ranna said: "I am thankful to Minissha for adjusting her schedule for me. It's unfortunate that such things happen."

"The cancellation indeed affected the business to a certain extent but we managed to work it out. I just want to forget it and concentrate on my next collection," she said.

Gill's collection included assortment of dresses, tunics, blouses, boyfriend boxy jackets, easy fitting blazers. The detailing included a vast array of patchwork, knots, sequins, ikat prints and layering and hand embroidery.

The collection also boasted of kanta work and dye prints, multi-prints.
