FOR HER
In my opinion, a classic red Banarasi saree, a lehenga set that can be reused later and a veil/dupatta etched with memories of your wedding, are must-haves in any bridal trousseau! Brides looking for a blend of tradition and modernity, in-vogue
TAPESTRY OF TRADITIONS
Sabyasachi has brought back to trend the evergreen Banarasi's and Kanjivaram's that were earlier only worn by our grandmothers and recently used only for traditional wedding gifting.
Intricate curves and the use of soft pastel colors are what inspired Aditi Chand, co-founder and chief executive of Varanasi-based designer label Tilfi Banaras, to bring the delicacy and grandeur of the French Rococo art together with Banarasi craftsmanship. Chand has used classic Kadhua and Meenakari weaves of Varanasi to create patterns of acanthus leaves, roses, lilies, lilacs, poppies, and all things vintage and traditional! styles but yet uniqueness, here are a few long-term trends for the upcoming seasons, straight off the runways!
BRIDAL ELEGANCE PASSED DOWN THROUGH TIME
These weaves with a timeless appeal are a must have for brides that want to feel connected to their roots and traditions. These sophisticated pieces with intricate craftsmanship, are great investment pieces, ones to be passed on to the daughters and granddaughters.
Threaded Elegance
Raw Mango has always embraced traditional fabrics, techniques and motifs, from silk brocades to zardozi embroideries, from chanderi silks to bandhej and gota pati, they've done it all.
MERMAIDCORE MAGIC
One notable trend that captured attention during the recent India Couture Week was the frequent presence of fish cuts or mermaid skirts featuring high slits, making appearances in nearly every showcase.
