India Couture Week 2014, The Best of the rest
India has a double-digit billion dollar market for Indian fashion including Sarees', Lehengas' and Salwaars'. It's not a surprise that with their Couture week, comes some of the best craftsmanship in the world.
Here are 5 of my top designers from the recent shows.
Top 5 Designers
 |
| Anju Modhi |
Elegant, captivating and fit for a princess. This collection from Anju Modhi featured a deconstruction of the traditional Indian bridal wear with mixed and matched colours such as black, which aren't usually worn in Indian weddings. She has taken modern elements of fashion and transformed them into ways that make it more wearable and appealing than ever.
 |
| Monisha Jaising |
Monisha Jaising has introduced a 'world bride' who can take her marriage vows in a temple in Rajasthan or a church in Vienna. Her inspiration is clearly tracked from travel and fusing together Indian heritage with the outside world. This, together with embroideries, new silhouettes and high-quality fabrics to create something for a modern bride or client.
 |
| Varun Bahl |
Varun Bahl has reinvented the Indian staples into a modern version making it timeless, wearable yet incredibly fashion forward in parallel with the western world's trends.
 |
| Manish Arora |
Manish Arora is one of the hottest designers to come out of India, even showing in Paris. Manish has transcended the way Indian fashion is seen, as well as pushing boundaries on design and decoration. This collection was Couture with a Capital C. It has supreme originality with a kaleidoscope imagination full of colour, cut and detail work.

| Sabyasachi Mukerjee |
Sabyasachi is one of the best selling luxury designers in India today, he understands what women want. His work is a mix between modern and traditional garments, with the best craftsmanship and attention to detail. This collection was personally my favourite because I would wear everything! I can see a women in her 40/50's wearing this and me as a 19 year old would also wear everything. It is really is pure glamour an reminds me of the indian princesses from the old days.
