Kotwara by Meera Muzaffar Ali presented their “Pearl of the
Orient” bridal collection at the fifth Aamby Valley India Bridal Fashion Week
2013. Evoking the grandeur of Awadh, the exotic bridal wear was textured with
pearls, sequins, resham and zari for the regal ensembles as they glided down
the runway.
The show opened with a beautiful, graceful, kathak dancer
who set the mood between the sections and created the Awadhi atmosphere for the
show.
Shades of purple georgette, chiffon and net for saris which
were worn with white chikankari capes were stately in style and design.
Angarkhas were panelled, while shararas with tissue stripes created an
innovative touch. A tiny silver shrug over a traditional kurta was a trendy
addition, while boleros with intricate work appeared over tunics. Shades of
wine and shocking pink georgette with gold tissue gave a bridal look to the
lehengas in the show.
There was a glorious mix of traditional Indian wear as
lehengas, shararas, saris and floor length kurtas created magic for the
audience as they viewed the elegant women’s wear. The fabrics were a melangé of
colour and textures as sheer chiffon blended effortlessly with lush velvets and
brocades that were luxuriously worked with glittering zardosi and intricate
chikankari, which is their specialty to create amazing textures.
The colour story moved from pristine whites to soft pastels
and then vibrant tones of rich colours.
Ankle length cropped pyjamas, slim kurtas and embellished
dupattas set the mood of the show. Colour came for Anarkalis over lehengas and
flaming red saris worn with regal sherwanis and splashed with pearls.
Black and gold took over the latter part of the collection,
with lavish paisleys and bootis embellished on lehengas, blouses and dupattas.
The saris with rich sequins and resham work revealed the master craftsmanship
of the designers’ studio.
The show ended with the white section lavishly treated with
the gold and silver embellishments. From flared kurtas, layers of white chiffon
for regal shararas, sexy corsets and stunning lehengas, embellished with heart
stopping silver chikankari; Meera Muzaffar Ali proved they are the masters at
bringing the beauty of an ancient craft with modern ethnic sensibilities.
Shekhar Suman, son Adhyayan Suman and family were seen on
the front row enjoying the show.
For a magical bridal wear offering Meera Muzaffar Ali wove a
glamorous fashion tale with their “Pearl of the Orient” collection.
