Tabu walking for Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla at Art Mumbai felt like a moment woven into destiny. Draped in chamois satin and crepe de chine, illuminated with silver hand embroidery and a reimagined Architectural coat encrusted with a constellation of crystals, she embodied a nocturnal dreamscape brought to life. Every glimmer, every fold, and every movement celebrated the designers’ majestic understanding of fabric, form, and fantasy.

Every motif in her wedding lehenga tells a story: elephants representing both Ria's love for the animals and the Amboseli Park ecosystem where they married, on the border between Kenya and Tanzania. The location itself was chosen for its resonance—Ria's husband first came to Africa through Tanzania's Peace Corps, spending two years in a remote village before eventually making his way to Kenya and to her.

The purple Paithani lehenga above with red temple motifs and hand-embroidered paisley designs demonstrates Asha Gautam's skill in combining multiple heritage elements. Paired with a Rangkaat Banarasi blouse and red Bandhani dupatta finished with zardozi-embroidered border, the ensemble brings together three distinct regional traditions from Maharashtra, Varanasi, Gujarat and Rajasthan—in sophisticated conversation rather than collision.

Swarna Raga Mekhela Sador - Striking red motifs reminiscent of precious rubies, contrasting beautifully with the golden base with intricate golden zari work on the borders and pallu.
