The latest capsule edit from couturier Ridhi Mehra — in collaboration with modern Indian wear brand, Indya — promises festive silhouettes

Delhi-based Eponymous Label Ridhi Mehra was founded in 2012 after designer Ridhi Mehra graduated from NIFT, Delhi. After completing the graduate programme in fashion studies she decided to establish her own brand and is now a popular name with several celebs including Ananya Panday, Kareena Kapoor, Soha Ali Khan and Mrunal Thakur. Fresh off the success of her last collection — Wildflower, a festive edition of ‘easy-to-wear’ silhouettes — the designer is back with a new capsule collection, The Ridhi Mehra X Indya Collection, that hopes to bring to the contemporary women of India a thoughtfully refined fashion narrative. We catch up with the designer to find out more:
