VAROON P. ANAND ASKS INDIA’S TOP FASHION DESIGNERS TO SHARE THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THEIR LATEST COLLECTIONS IN WEDDING COUTURE THROUGH INTIMATE DESIGN SKETCHES.

India’s top designers share the inspiration behind their latest bridal collections

The season breathes romance and designers answer its call every year with new swirls and twirls. But long before they can unfold fabric or sew a stitch they must first put their vision down on paper. We asked India’s most eminent couturiers to share their fantasy ensembles for the coming wedding season.

Fashion has to gauge subtle shifts in taste and modesty with razor sharp astuteness. Designers this season move to deeper hues and insist the modern bride likes to play with sheer fabrics rather than what’s staid and traditional. There has also been a greater shift towards royal motifs to dress up garments. Designers have also looked ahead rather than drawn on traditional sources of inspiration and the results are spectacular. Browse through the looks of the season.
