A collection with nuances that play on your deepest emotions, whilst surrounded in the hustle and bustle of the city, Krishna Mehta draws creativity from elements such as lotus flowers blooming in a muddy pond, the vibrancy of colours and the refinement of architecture, this collection reflects purity, vibrancy and beauty. n nA sense of elegance, sophistication and romance is visible throughout, with the use of muted and pastel tones and hues of pinks, yellows and soft greens. Intricate embroideries such as gota and zardozi provide a refreshing burst to each of the traditional silhouettes. Staying true to her ethos, the collection remains timeless and graceful with a contemporary touch of western elegance. Unusual techniques such as layering of fabrics to create 3-D flowers, hand painted panels and detailed tassels, offer a new lease of life to the traditional silhouettes. n nWith a collection ranging from Womens lehengas, saris and anarkalis to mens sherwanis, jodhpurs and vests, the garments are meticulously combined to create a harmonious adornment to celebrate the human form. n n”I am always true to my approach, it is the key that hangs in the balance of that which is aesthetic and which is familiar. Jardin Majorelle to me is not just a garden, it is a work of art, a place for reflection and inspiration.” says Krishna Mehta. n nBuyer Contact:nRahul MehtanM: +91 9820922330nT: +91 22 41575859nE: rahul@krishnamehta.com nW: www.krishnamehta.comn nMedia Contact:nGayatri Lalvani/ La Toyah TrindadenM: + 91 9930525227/+ 91 9833428022nE:gayatri.lalvani@gmail.com/ almost.toyah@gmail.com
