Inspired by the fabulous Indian
costumes from the Hills of Kashmir to the sands of Kutch and from the glory of
Awadh to the historic drama of Hyderabad, Preeti S Kapoor’s “Royal India”
bridal collection was a stunning offering at the fifth Aamby Valley India
Bridal Fashion Week 2013 and the glamour was furher added to the show when
bollywood actress Aditi Rao Hydari walked the ramp as a show stopper in a red
heavily embellished gold lehenga, choli and orange dupatta.
With intricate embroidery, majestic silhouettes and shapes,
the collection was a fabulous blend of diverse colours, textures and fabrics
that were very versatile and eye catching.
Twelve lit clusters of lamps lined the ramp to create the
magical effect of the past for the show, which was a breathtaking array of the
most exquisite embroidery and craftsmanship.
From the first off-white collection of kalidaar kurtas with
gotta work, saris in flesh tones with intricate weaves and brocade pallavs, to
the crinkle white silk lehenga with the mini choli; the collection promised to
be a bride’s eternal dream.
Preeti not only scored with her generously embellished
bridal wear but the amazing cholis were mind boggling in their cut and
construction.
Adding on black as a very formal colour, the black silk sari
with the eye catching booties, the zig zag work for the empire line kurta worn
with embroidered palazzos and the royal purple lehenga with front tie-up net
cover were perfect additions to the show.
The final lin-up of heavily encrusted ensembles with triple
colour tones of purple/fuchsia/orange and saffron/green/shocking pink proved
that Preeti’s unconventional shade combinations could turn into stunning
offerings. While most silhouettes were voluminous, the long lean kurta made a
surprising entry amongst the panelled flared versions.
Embellishments covered the garments, though at times the
embroidery was reserved for the ornate hemlines, while the plunging low neck
necklines were accentuated seductively.
The front row celebs included Vidya Malvade, Rohit Roy,
Shibani Kashyap, Alvira & Arpita Khan, Tushar Kapoor.
When brides want to make a regal memorable entry on their
wedding day the “Royal India” Collection by Preeti S Kapoor will make a perfect
impact.
