Mandira’s creations were inspired by the English Bride and was called Veils Unveiled. “This happens when the bride-meets-Ibiza,” says the designer. The collection is about ostentatious femininity that rediscovers the hourglass silhouette and highlights it with strong attitude.

A desire for linearity is seen with clean cuts and discrete hues. Accentuated and padded shoulders, stiff peplums, high waist belts, sparkling bonings, origami effects, laser cutting, sequin work, quilting and 3-D embroidery are the highlights.

While draping plays a vital part in balancing refined elegance, thigh-high splits, cascades, lace insets and over-sized sheer sleeves add to the glamorous femininity.
