Pics/ Dhara Vora While Meghna still retails at multi-designer boutiques in the city, this is her first flagship store. Meghna, a one-time engineering student, went on to hone her style and design skills at the National Institute of Design and later, at Fashion Institute of Technology in the Big Apple. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/aug/IMG_2554.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 879px; " /> Yellow dressu00a0Peasant girl meets a woman about town with this yellow dress with ribbon detailing.u00a0For Rs 2,800 Mostly made of georgette and crepe -silk with a little bit of detailing with the help of rhinestones or lace, Meghna&rsquo;s designs stick to simple silhouettes with a colour palette that is a mix of black, white, yellows, coral and blue. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/aug/shorts.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 324px; " /> Gold shorts Wear this with the dullest of blouses and you will shine chic.

We also liked her bell-sleeved blouses in different colours.
