Anamika Khanna is one of the most talented designers India has today. Her creations are creative and artistic, keeping in mind Indian heritage and the modern world.
I was very excited to see this collection, firstly because of Anamika’s past collections and secondly because Bollywood actress and fashionista Sonam Kapoor, was walking the runway, since she [...]

Manav Gangwani’s couture collection, can only be described as Royal Indian bridal wear meets Queen Elizabeth….if that makes any sense…
Whilst traditional zardosi and sitara work were used on the churidar’s, sari’s and lengha’s, some of the traditional silhouettes were given a little twist. I say some, because a few pieces such as Bollywood actress Karisma [...]

Those of you who follow fashion news closely, will be aware that as well as London Fashion Week currently taking place, the first India Couture Week began today.
