ICONS WHO CHANGED BRIDAL FASHION FOREVER

From off-the-rack sarees to opulent lehengas that weigh a ton, the world of bridal wear has come a long way, thanks to the contributions of three visionaries.

Tarun Tahiliani has mastered the art of draping, creating bridal outfits that, in his own words, “float on the body” with their gossamer-like lightness. Departing from traditional solid colours, Manish Malhotra celebrates pastels, known for their innate ability to enhance a bride’s natural radiance, creating a look that is ethereal, romantic and effortlessly chic. Sabyasachi Mukherjee, deeply entrenched in tradition yet at the forefront of setting trends, pays homage to artisanal crafts and craftsmanship in his bridal collections. These luminaries have a devoted following, impressive celebrity clientele and customized designs for the modern bride who possesses a strong sense of personal style. In exclusive interviews with HELLO!, they discuss how they’ve redefined Indian bridal design

Over two decades since launching his eponymous label, Tarun Tahiliani shows no signs of slowing down. He’s preparing for two major productions. The first is a grand museum show at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), featuring a costume exhibit that will showcase his drapes alongside a collection of museum sculptures. “It’s going to be a spectacle, and the museum is a true gem celebrating art, culture and now fashion in this part of the world,” he says of the event, that marks a first for Indian designers.
