Be it for street fashion, or for wedding haute-couture, the five-day fashion gala displayed inspiration-worthy dresses for all!

So, let’s get started with…
1. Shyamal and Bhumika
Collection- Wonderland
The designer duo showcased their creations with beautiful saris, lehengas, and gowns featuring gorgeous embroidery on rich fabrics like silk, satin and tulle. We loved the way traditional attires were given a trendy western touch in their creation. The collection looked like a dreamy combination pretty pastels like grey, pink, peach, violet. There were ruffles, flared skirts, intricately embroidered bodices embellished with golden and floral work. We think the collection was a perfect assemblage that mirrored fearless feminine elegance and beauty.
