Designer Notes - SHYAMAL AND BHUMIKA

Shyamal and Bhumika moved onto a regal bridal traditional path.  There was a lot of majesty, colour and regal glamour in the collection called " Bejewelled" for Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2010. Here was clothing of the Maharajas which was surrounded by grandeur in days of yore. 

I am in awe of this collection especially the menswear.  It ranged from ornate velvet or brocade sherwanis, kurtas, with heavy zardozi work teamed with impressive velvet opulent glittering shawls. Detailing like jewelled buttons, armlets, turbans added to the royal look of an era that was known for its glitz and glamour.

The gorgeous bridal wear for women included velvet lehengas, and dupattas, deep red sari with black velvet shawl
