n n”And what is couture if not absolutely bespoke, both in make as well as concept? With this thought in mind, I began thinking of a modern version of Indian-wear staples. For me, this collection represents ten years’ worth of experiences and experiments. It has elements from almost all of my favourite shows: my beloved Rose motif, dainty appliques in velvet, intricate hand-embroideries achieved in strips of chiffon and Gota, interplays between volume and structure, layered looks, and my favourite colours like duck-egg blue, navy, black, ivory, silver and gold, mustard, fuchsia, and pale pink. I find this to be a beautiful connection between otherwise unrelated aesthetics. On a macro level, that is what I have tried to achieve throughout this collection.”n nThese are clothes for the new Indian woman who is keen to celebrate her traditions, but does not want to be defined by them and them alone.n n nBuyers Contact:nNupur SharmanM: +91 9999250755nE: nupur@varunbahl.com nMedia Contact:nUsha Rai nM: +91 9871761932nE: usha@varunbahl.comn n n n
