Bridal fashion at its best

Wedding Times Fashion Fiesta, organised by The Times of India presents the ultimate wedding fashion trousseau

Three renowned fashion designers from the Indian fashion industry will present their latest wedding couture at Wedding Times Fashion Fiesta to be held in the city today. Organised by The Times of India, the event will feature the themed wedding collections of Hari Anand, Sumit Dasgupta and Thahir Sayed Mohammed.

Kochi based designer Hari Anand will present the golden theme, aptly named ‘Alchemy’, showcasing gold based fabrics in georgette and pure silk. “I have chosen base fabrics and nude colours and enhanced the bridal sarees and lehengas with embroideries,” says Anand. The highlight of the show will be his interpretation of kasavu bordered Kerala sarees. His bridal collections are ideal not just for weddings but for the sangeet and wedding receptions as well.

Thahir Sayed Mohammed will be exhibiting his wedding collection based on Goth fashion. “Gothic has a reciprocal relationship with the fashion world. With the main colour as black and a bit of white, I plan to use black fabrics like lycra, velvet and lace, apart from sequins, swarovski head gear and lace net for veil,” adds Mohammed. He also has a collection of prom and cocktail gowns for bridesmaids.

Mumbai based Sumit Dasgupta’s designs are purely Indian ethnic and bridal wear. “My collections are inspired by Maa Durga and is my tribute to naari shakti. The ethnic wears are made of a variety of fabrics such as brocade, georgette, velvet, chiffon, satin, raw silk and Italian crepe. The colours used are beige, maroon, bright green, bright yellow, dark blue, golden, and baby pink,” says Dasgupta. The ability to experiment with different weaving techniques like zari, aari, antique tikki work, resham, gota work, LCD work and zardozi makes his collections unique.

Apart from the display of trendy wedding collections, wedding jewellery is sponsored by Joy Alukkas. Model turned actress Parvathy Omanakuttan will be the show stopper at the fashion fiesta!
Expectations are high as the designers are presenting their wedding collections for the first time in Kochi, the fashion capital of Kerala. “With the wedding season on in a few weeks, the fashion fiesta will have a high impact on the audience looking to take a cue from the show,” chips in Anand.
Entry to the fashion fete will be through invitation only. An array of splendid wedding couture, teamed with classic ethnic jewellery and finest accessories is sure to make many heads turn. So, spice up your glam quotient and get ready for a fashionable evening of glitz and glamour.
