Designer Anamika Khanna’s new collection ‘Happily Ever After’ is divided into different rituals of the Indian wedding: The ‘Welcome Lunch’ designs are eclectic and the colours are pastel, with mostly thread work and different types of zardosi. There is a diaphanous lehenga with thread work that really stands out due to its intricacy.
For the ‘Mehendi’, there are three shapes to choose from. From the traditional lehenga to the sharara, to the draped sari. There’s an array of colours like mustard, purple, coral and red to choose from.
The cocktail section of the collection gives a lovely flapper vibe. “Yes”, admits Khanna. “I feel like a 1920s flapper girl.”
