1) Welcome aboard weddingsonline India. Can you tell us about your designing style? How do you balance the contemporary with the traditional?

Every new silhouette that I think of, is usually draped by myself and I make the first prototype of the garment. Thereafter my team takes over and transfers it on paper. Our signature style is stunning and everything is beautifully hand crafted as a major chunk of the business is Bridal, however individual design details are kept edgy and sometimes funky to add an element of surprise.

2) What is the inspiration and process you use for each season?

There is a technical seasonal process of design which we are careful to follow. We do our research and development in colors and silhouettes ahead of every collection. And talking about inspirations, they are omnipresent, one has to be sensitive to soak them in.

3) What is your take on latest bridal trends? Can you highlight your favourite trend this year?

My favourite bridal trend clearly is the fun element. Brides seem to be having a ball at their wedding nowadays. They don’t seem to be stressed and are looking gorgeous! Wedding photographers are having a field day shooting and bridal designers certainly are experimenting with colors and trims like never before.
