:: Tarun Tahiliani’s Artisanal Couture collection for India Couture Week 2021 came in a set of six capsule collections. These capsules, called Chikankari, Pichwai, Rangrez, Cocktail Goddess, Pakeezagi and Bridal, reveal the designer’s vision of the 2021 weddings.
A quick glance at some of them:
The Rangrez capsule: This line celebrates colour with countless meters of woven brocade strips cut out and applied on different forms.
The bridal collection: is a play on traditional, reds, pastels and beiges.
The Pichwai collection: the Indian paintings from Rajasthan, the pichwais, have inspired this line with their monochromatic scenes of the Raasleela and traditional motifs of peacocks and lotuses.
