If you’ve ever dreamed of draping yourself in a piece of art, your fairy tale has come true. Fashor’s Desi Romance Collection is a delightful homage to traditional elegance, wrapped in modern charm. The collection features hand-painted floral outfits bursting with warm pastels, exquisite zari work, and delicate layering that could make even Cupid swoon.
Vikram Kankaria, the mastermind behind this dreamy collection, spills the beans, “The Desi Romance Collection was inspired by the rich cultural heritage and the deep-rooted traditions of India. We wanted to create a line that pays homage to the timeless beauty of our classical attire while infusing a contemporary twist.” So, whether you’re attending a wedding or just want to feel fabulous, these garments are a must-have.
Now, let’s talk details. Each outfit is adorned with hand-painted floral motifs that are more than just pretty patterns; they’re a celebration of nature and craftsmanship. Vikram explains, “Our design team carefully selects each motif to reflect the collection’s theme of timeless elegance. Skilled artisans meticulously hand-paint the designs using eco-friendly dyes, ensuring every brushstroke is vibrant and unique.” It’s like wearing a garden that tells a story.
And speaking of stories, the warm pastels in this collection are like a soft hug for the eyes. They create a dreamy, tranquil palette, while the shimmering zari work adds a sprinkle of opulence. “The intricate zari embroidery catches the light, creating a subtle glow that enhances the romantic and ethereal quality of the outfits,” Vikram notes.
The Desi Romance Collection isn’t just about looking pretty; it’s about capturing the essence of love itself. With flowing silhouettes and poetic detailing, every piece is designed to inspire feelings of timeless affection. Vikram adds, “Each piece in the collection is crafted to evoke a sense of nostalgic beauty, reminiscent of vintage love stories.”
What’s a romance without roses and lotuses? The intricate floral motifs symbolise love and purity, enhancing the collection’s ethereal aesthetic.
Vikram explains, “These motifs create a visual poetry, making the garments appear both enchanting and otherworldly.”
For a sophisticated look, he suggests pairing these beauties with minimal jewellery, and sleek hairstyles. If you’re feeling romantic, opt for soft makeup to let those flowing fabrics drape effortlessly. For a contemporary twist, mix traditional with modern accessories—think tailored blazers and chic flats for daytime, and elegant footwear with a statement necklace for evenings.
