Anita Dongre's Jaipur Bride Collection at LFW W/F 2013

Anita Dongre's Jaipur collection at LFW W/F 2013 portrayed the myriad moods of Anita's bridal muse -- Nayantara, who is a young, effervescent girl who challenges convention, yet loves all things traditional. Coming from a royal lineage, Nayantara epitomises modern day feminity juxtaposed with a free-spirited adventurous soul. Her style sensibilities allow her to beautifully marry the timelessness of tradition with the simplicity of contemporary design. The collection Jaipur Bride 2013 is inspired by the JantarMantar, with the ensembles shaped by linear symmetry and embroidered in geometric shapes and patterns. The bridal lehengas, too, showcased an innovative geometric synergy echoing the architectural splendour and detailing of JantarMantar. Through this collection Anita Dongre also celebrated the classic menswear fashion -- the bandi, which she reinterprets into womenswear, lending feminine grace to one of her favourite pieces.
