The Grand Finale
Manish Malhotra’s show Couture Soiree was a befitting finale to a week of stylish haute couture and high fashion at Amazon India Couture Week.
PRINCESS OF STYLE
In a muted but rich colour palette, designer Reynu Taandon presented a quintessentially traditional collection inspired by the sartorial spender of Persia.
DRAMATIC DESIGN
Simplicity and elegance was a key theme in the ‘Maharadjah & Co’ collection. Designer’s Rimple and Harpreet Narula took a minimalist approach to traditional Indian silhouettes, rather than going with over the top embellishments and zardozi chose to use subtle crystals and muted tones.
