Wedding Affair

The temperature in summer is really tough to handle. And in addition to the torture of the weather, comes the problem of handling our heavy lehengas at weddings. The thought of wearing an enormous lehenga can be terrific. But don’t worry, there’s still a way in which you can look beautiful with much comfort. The new trend which is going around the town is—Sharara! It has proved to be the best mixture of comfort with the look of elegance. Since the Mughal period, Shararas have proved themselves to be a sign of royalty. For your next wedding function, here are our top picks for you to choose from. 

RETRO Fashion is the trend of the season. The 1980s and 1990s have been significant decades in popularizing and propagating a ‘fashion culture’.

In Puglia, Maria Grazia Chiuri developed a taste for the Mediterranean wardrobe that would never leave her. If you’ve ever wondered where the rustic romanticism of the Roman couturier’s vision for Christian Dior stems from, these are her roots. Following a cruise show in Marrakech that approached that most ancient tunics-and-sandals sensibility from a nomadic point of view, Chiuri said she was ready for something that felt “intimate” to her on a different level. Taking Monsieur Dior’s treasure trove of inspirations – much as it only encompasses ten years – out of its time frame and into present-day pragmatism, Chiuri presented an haute couture collection that hailed the freedom-of-choice character of this old craft.
