nita Dongre's latest bridal collection, ‘There She Glows’, harmonises contemporary silhouettes and unconventional cuts with motifs inspired by nature for the woman who has deep Indian roots and a spirit that transcends borders. Edited excerpts:I wanted to create a classic bridal collection that celebrates forgotten crafts; colours and silhouettes cast a modern light. The collection showcases the hand-painted craft of Picchwai, hand-embroideries by the women of SEWA (Self Employed Women's Association) and the Rajasthani craft of Gota Patti, among others. Watching him at work inspired me to think of our nature-inspired motifs hand-painted on our garments. The colours of the sky and the motifs represented are both from this ideation.These designs are for the unconventional Indian bride who seeks heritage crafts translated into modern silhouettes.
