the beauty of this

Sometimes I wonder, why did we give up on these? Bhartiya fashion was aesthetic before people even knew what aesthetic was. No fancy hair pin can ever win against a gajra, no bracelets will ever win against bangles, no fancy anklets will win against traditional payal and no plastic earings will ever even be able to compete with jhumkas.

ISHA AMBANI

Isha Ambani in custom Gaurav Gupta. The outfit is a traditional Indian Saree woven with pure gold thread, that features hand painted Pichwal-inspired motifs and a sculpted cape. The look is adorned with a Gajra inspired hairpiece, made with paper, copper and brass by Sourabh Gupta and diamond necklaces, haathphools and a diamond waist belt...

The look implements the dress code, “Fashion is Art” in different ways, her blouse incorporated over 1800 carats of diamonds, emeralds, polki and kundan, it also included heirloom pieces from her mum, this simple detail gives the outfit a personal touch that adds depth. It creates a traditional, historical and personal piece...

The finishing touch on the outfit is the sculpted mango. This piece was made by Sourabh Gupta. Isha carries it in a crochet bag. It is a steel sculpture that’s over 20 years old. It can be seen as a symbol of Indian art and culture that blends traditional Indian motifs with modern fashion...
