Never-Out-Of-

Fashion

The voluminous lehenga can never
go out of fashion. It has evolved,
with slits on the sides, pockets
for your smart phone and lipper,
but the grandeur of this garment
that epitomizes the marriage day,
is sacrosanct. Jayanti Reddy,
is known for her traditional
inspirations coupled with
modernity. Her latest collection
is an inspiration from this
identity that the city of Varanasi-
Kashi-Benares holds. A city of
unwavering faith and the heart of
Hinduism but still remains difficult
to be defined, “ much like the
Indian bride who refuses to be put
in mould today, she has both the
old and the new, traditional and
challenging, ancient yet relevant,”
adds Reddy.

Enjoy the beige to navy blue, to
peaches, reds, and mint greens in
an assortment of cholis, peplum
tops, coat styled open covers that
are a range to go with the lehenga.

Another one to never-go-out-
of-fashion is the family heirloom
and Riddhi Mehra has made good
use of that emotion in her latest
collection. Called ‘Ode to the
Heirloom’ it takes its inspirations
from many things which we
