Designer Pooja Suresh & Sujina Ikbal explored a range of stylish and glamorous formal attires to curate a collection for the JD Design Awards 2022. The Hidden Jewels is inspired by a rare and exquisite species known as jewel beetle.

The jewel beetle, which has a variety of stunningly iridescent colors and patterns, is one of the most spectacular subgroups of insects. They are famous for their brightly coloured metallic bodies. The beetle is known as a tough species because it thrives in harsh environments and overcomes them without giving up, exhibiting many human characteristics.

Since the collection features fashionable semi-formal attire It consists of blazers, trousers, dresses, skirts, and formal shorts. To give it an exquisite appearance, colorful stones have been added as embellishments.
