Designer Ambrish Damani wants to give Bengali look to Deepika

Fashion designer Ambrish Damani says he would like to give actress Deepika Padukone a traditional Bengali look.
"Deepika's rustic look would be just perfect at the same time she has the charisma in her yet her elegance just just perfect. Dressing Deepika in my 'Shidur collection' (his latest work) is my dream," Ambrish told PTI.
Ambrish has come out with his new festive collection 'Shidur' which majorly reflects the ancient traditions of the Bengali heritage. For Bengali women, 'shidur' (vermilion) holds a huge significance as it symbolises marital life.
"The Bengali heritage and culture are a big source of inspiration to me. With this collection, I wanted to encapsulate the 'shidur khela' or the vermilion play, which marks the end of the Bengalis' biggest festival - Durga Puja. Shidur collection is an honest effort to reinvent the heritage, the culture and the spirit of festivities of Bengal," Ambrish said.

The collection comprises hand crafted festive wear filled with bold red, brown, antique gold and a lot of bling. It includes kurta, kimonos, anarkalis and shararas among others.
