- BY OUR CORRESPOND­ENT

Luxury multi-brand store Pitaraah in associatio­n with Sahil Kochhar, unveiled the designer’s debut haute couture collection 2018-19 “Zehen” with an exclusive fashion show, in the capital on 21 October.

An epitome of luxury and style, “Pitaraah” is a multidesig­ner store, housing some of the biggest names from the Indian fashion fraternity. The brainchild of founder Akhil Verma, the store spreads over 2,200 square feet in Delhi’s designer hub —Defence Colony.

Kochhar, i s a Niche luxury—Pret-a-Couture Label specialisi­ng in unconventi­onal textures and embroideri­es. The designer is known for his fresh and contempora­ry creations, fused with an old-world charm, inspired by the rich cultural heritage of India and the artistry of our craftsmen.

Kochhar puts in a constant endeavour to shed light on India’s infinite, unsung and mystical treasures and rejuvenate India’s traditiona­l arts and crafts to establish a lasting legacy through its modern interpreta­tions. That is exactly the essence of his couture collection. It has brought alive his interpreta­tion of paradise with reminiscin­g panoramic landscapes made of flowers and birds, layers of wide palms and lush jungle trees. The designer has translated these images into breathtaki­ng creations. Whispy pastels act as the canvas for delicate appliqué, shimmering silver, and champagne beadwork. Tonal appliqué and ivory beads are shaped into motifs of birds, trees, bunches and florets to adorn the dresses.
