Day Five (Friday) at the ongoing India Couture Week 2017, organised by Fashion Design Council of India with associate partner Hindustan Times, ended with designer Varun Bahl showcasing his Dream Nouveau collection that was inspired from the Art Noveau period. There were lehengas and saris featuring works of Czech painter Alphonse Mucha’s bohemian influence and neo-classical motifs.
