Called "The Road less travelled,” the collection encompassed the designer's learnings and experiences through various walks around the world. It was a conversation the designer had with her soul, while taking a stroll through beautiful valleys and the mightiest of mountains. The collection spoke of how taking the longest routes and crossing glimmering rivers, can lead to a wave of change in our very being.

“Travel far enough, you'll meet yourself” - David Mitchell, Modi made this quote the base of her collection.

A thinker and philosopher, Anju Modi finds her inspiration through nuanced elements of architecture, poetry, mythology and literature. Each ensemble is a celebration of India’s cultural history and a tribute to modern feminism.

Long forgotten age- old techniques have been revived, where the designer has created an extensive library of research and development techniques for weaving, vegetable dyeing, block printing and traditional embroidery.
