Suneet Varma showcased his mesmerising collection at Indian Couture Week

Suneet Varma revisited the great traditional techniques and crafts that have made Indian embroideries a worldwide celebration while infusing a modern and fresh twist. The collection featured large abstract-shaped mirrors adorned with multi-coloured thread embroidery, offering a contemporary take on bridal wear. The glamorous lehengas, with off-shoulder blouses and short jackets, showcased dark shades of midnight blue and burgundy, complemented by silver accents. Draped skirts worn with capes and ruffled organza shirts paired with high-waisted palazzo pants complete the ensemble.

From pastels to solid and darker shades, as far as the colour palette of Suneet’s show was concerned. Focussed to make the back of the outfit its highlight, Suneet curated his outfits with beautiful embroideries, jewellery, and elegant detailing. Speaking about the collection, Suneet shared, "India has had a century-old love affair with couture, which is made-to-measure for pure pleasure. There is no denying the luxurious indulgence of precious finery, the magical beauty of one-off embellished wedding attire, and the sparkle of personalized jewels that are designed to match.”
