INSPIRATION STORY
Mandana - For (Intimate) Weddings borrows from my Spring/Summer ’21 edit, but fresh in terms of colours and prints. I’ve added geometrical prints, along with floral ones, to add more drama to the silhouettes. Mandana - For (Intimate) Weddings, also inspired by Jaipur and my memories of it, features young silhouettes of ease, and doesn’t adhere to the conservative rules Mandana had set. Mandana For (Intimate) Weddings is about a modern Jaipur combined with a time that was, and perhaps still is.
