Mumbai: Aimed at the New Age bride, Disha Patil’s bridal and occasion wear had the ultimate luxurious appeal with timeless elegance for her “The Interpretation of Love” collection at Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2019.

Offering handcrafted elements with a vintage appeal, the ensembles were ideal for all the bridal festivities starting from the Roka to the Mehndi, Sangeet, Saat Pheras and Reception. There was elegance and classic tailoring in a palette that was partial to pastels. The embellishments were ornate, lavish and opulent with attention to extreme detailing.

Inspired by Turkey, its grand architectural beauty and art, there were motifs and patterns of the Kilim or Persian rugs that were creatively woven into the garments. Along with the beauty of the Hayat Agaci, Goz, Fetter and symbols of grains, Disha worked some Ottoman architectural symmetry into the collection.

Origami drapes added glamour to the shoulders and necklines of the garments but it was the intricate detailing that was fascinating on the ensembles. The popular hues of the Bosphorus and Turkey were captured in ivory, powder blue and teal along with pretty peach.

To match the bridal wear finery, Disha carefully selected pure raw and Habutai silk along with satin organza as the base of the line.

Presenting a variety of options for the lehengas, cholis and dupattas, Disha started with the traditional one with an asymmetric, long, choli and then an off-shoulder top with pants and skirt. The gown with a wrap, draped shoulder detail, petalled bodice top teamed with a wired dupatta and the one-shoulder blouse with a glittering lehenga were dramatic on the ramp.

Moving further through her collection there was origami for the lehenga, while a pre-stitched sari was cleverly embellished.

Choosing the ‘Queen’ as her show stopper – Disha brought the glamorous Kangana Ranaut on the catwalk in a powder blue lehenga dazzling with silver work and a stunning will- power choli with a one-sided, extended, shoulder drape.

Disha Patil’s collection “The Interpretation of Love” was a romantic fashion symphony that will be ideal for brides as they take their vows.
