Krishna Mehta’s bridal collection sparkles at Lakme Fashion Week
Sep 18, 2010 Bridal Shows & Wedding Exhibitions, Fashion & Bridal Wear
Timeless, elegant, contemporary are the words that come to our mind everytime we watch Krishna Mehta’s show. It was no different this time – Krishna presented a beautiful collection of ethnic wear with minute touches of western elegance at Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2010.
Heavily embroidered jackets were teamed with saris or lehengas. Colours were muted and sophisticated with touches of silver and gold, crème and beige with gentle hints of black, red and purple. Loved the intricate chikan work and the rich sequined embellishments that Krishna used lavishly to give a festive touch to the creations.
Men’s wear had classic sherwanis with zardozi or chikan work – so understated yet festive.
We are so lusting after the structure cropped jackets with free free flowing lehengas. And that lemon georgette lehenga is going to get snapped in a second.
