Designer Tarun Tahiliani took inspiration from the constellation, stars and all things cosmic for his new line which he displayed at the FDCI India Couture Week.
Aptly titled 'Tarakanna', the bridal line had a hint of romance and fantasy running through it with the ample aid of floral details and subtle Baroque inspired work.
"When I was working on the new collection, I wanted to start a new trend. I wanted pieces which were light and sparky. I have seen too many brides wear clothes that they can't move in," Tarun said.
"They change their clothes and even wear chappals during the ceremony. I wanted to do away with that. My clothes can be worn for 12 hours at a stretch because they are weigh less."
The designer used the Chantilly lace, rose-gold embroideries and lightly sprinkled crystals from Swarovski.
"The idea was cosmos and the night sky and looking at things twinkling away. And that's why we collaborated with Swarovski. It's very feminine," Tarun said.
The collection, featuring lehengas, shararas, sarees, and saree drapes, offered a range of European colours like powder blues, jades and baby pinks on one hand, and vibrant colours from the traditional Indian palette like reds, maroons and golds on the other.
The menswear featured bundis, kurtas, dhotis and sherwanis embroidered with gota, zardozi, parsi gara and resham threads on fabrics like matka silk, raw silk and velvet.
