Aamby Valley India Bridal Fashion Week 2012 I:

Pallavi Jaikishan's “Ashrafiyan" collection
Designer Pallavi Jaikishan showcased her collection on Day 5 of Aamby Valley India Bridal Fashion Week (AVIBFW) 2012 in Mumbai.


It was a feast for the eyes as the gorgeous Kurtas, Saris and Lehengas in vibrant bridal hues appeared on the ramp. Calling the collection “Ashrafiyan”, Pallavi worked around three inspirations which were presented with her timeless expertise in craft and embellishments.


The show started with an eclectic collection in mustard Gold

A word about the designer : 

Over the last 40 the years, Jaikishan has become the go-to name for couture as well as bridal wear. She is known for her heavy embellishments (pearl embroidery, Chinese embroidery combined with chikankari, gota work and zardozi embroidery on brocade) and the use of pure fabrics- be it tulle, georgette, velvet, chiffon or silk. The couturier has also successfully married Indian bridal wear to European elements such as French lace, lame/, guirpure and velvet ribbons.
