Joie de Vivre is what primarily inspires designer Poonam Mittal's creations that are rooted in emotive embroidery, heritage handcrafting techniques and celebratory colours. Specialising in bridesmaid couture marked by contemporary silhouettes with minimal embellishments, Mittal's ensembles are ideal for modern Indian weddings.
Her freshest summer festive wedding edit, Sakhi, is an ode to the sisters, friends, soul twins and bridesmaids and the ensembles are inspired by the beloved friends of the bride. We speak with the designer to know more about the collection and her upcoming work. Excerpts:
Tell us a little about your latest collection Sakhi?
Sakhi is an ode to our sisters, friends like sisters, soul twins & bridesmaids that fill our lives with such unconditional friendship and inexplicable joy, our hearts seem larger.
We have used bright, wholesome, joy-inducing colours in classic timeless silhouettes, just like your closest friends who'll be with you forever. We have used a mix of handloom Chanderi silk, handwoven Kota silk and zari silk adorned with heritage marodi, gota patti and badla work.
