Inspired wearing

Designer Sulakshana Monga's new collection is a tribute to the sexy yet subtle Indian woman of the golden years gone by

Taking cue from the female forms of Mother Yashoda, the 'Lover Radha', 'Queen Victoria' and 'Queen Jodha', Sulakshna Monga has launched her uber feminine new Autumn winter collection. Aptly titled Manthan of Moods, her line boasts of delicate cuts and refined styles. It has three sub ranges the wedding line, the prêt collection and the bridal line.

The clothes create an aura of richness and are subtly stylish. Georgettes, brocade, Banarsi, organza, net and paper silk are the fabrics that have been extensively used in the assortment. With hues of gold, black, blue, purple, yellow and red depicting the varied emotions of the human heart, the underlying colour theme is robust and boisterous. The collection skillfully brings together the best of Mughal  and Victorian styles of design.

Truly yours

The collection, though a concoction of western shades, is unmistakably emblematic of an inherent Indian soul. This dramatic blend of the east and west, or the traditional and contemporary,  results in a fantasy like fusion which truly personifies the 'manthan' or 'churning' of the many diverse emotions of a woman.
