MUMBAI: Crocs, the global footwear brand, associates with one of India’s leading designer Sourabh Kant Shrivastava who has designed his new collection inspired by the movie “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion”. The collection will be showcased through a fashion event, organized by Bollywoo.ooo, an online portal that curates movie-inspired apparels and accessories, in Mumbai, on 7 April 2017 with Bollywood celebrities Tamannaah Bhatia and Rana Daggubati walking the ramp for Sourabh Kant.
The collection is inspired from the drama and grandeur that Baahubali has which further translates into a collection which is all Black and Gold.

Speaking about his collection,
Shrivastava says, "I have done clothes which have embroidery and appliqué in leather and zari fabric. The jewelry is a modern take on traditional styles which is used in the movie”.
The collection will be showcased in association with Crocs where the models will walk the ramp wearing Crocs’ camp and promoting their new campaign “Come As You Are” which encourages people to celebrate the uniqueness in them. The collection is being promoted by Drew Barrymore and John Cena.
