Jul 24, 2024
New Delhi [India], July 24 : The exquisite bridal lehenga donned by Radhika Merchant for her recent wedding with Anant Ambani was specifically an intricate interpretation of the traditional Gujarati 'Panetar' by none other than fashion designers Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla.
The designer duo shared insights into making of the lehenga in an exclusive interview with ANI.
"We just did our best at what we are good at. We create first keeping ourselves in mind, what appeals to us. Radhika wanted off-white and red, following the Gujarati tradition. So we kept to that and added more drama to it. She is a very pretty bride," said the designers.
The duo shared that they had been working on the design for almost six months. "And then, of course, within two months, it was made."
Both the designers said they are excited to open India Couture Week (ICW) that began today with their labels Asal and Mard.
Speaking about their show, the duo said, "We have original music this time, created by Akshay and IP. The album is called 'Cake.' We also have a jewelry partner and a cast of 80 people. It's going to be grand. There's a fantastic humorous stand-up comedian, and the show's concept is that you should not fear being alone. As a bride or a groom, you shouldn't get married out of fear of being alone."
Spanning eight days, ICW 2024 will also see designers Amit Aggarwal, Dolly J, Gaurav Gupta, Jayanti Reddy, JJ Valaya, Kunal Rawal, Rahul Mishra, Rimzim Dadu, Roseroom by Isha Jajodia, and Tarun Tahiliani enthralling the audience with their collections.
ICW 2024 that opened in New Delhi today is set to continue till July 31 at the Taj Mahal hotel venue.
