An ancient decorative art form, often referred to as 'paintings in stone', Pietra Dura was once fostered by kingdoms as far apart in time and location as Romans and Moghuls. My bridal collection is a tribute to Pietra Dura's vivacity and a captivating look into new application for this age-old art form. The embroidery in my ensembles is a replication of Pietra Dura motifs – not so much in technique as in aesthetics. As crossover fashion doesn't merely adorn a wearer, it transforms her, I dedicate this Indo-western fusion to the modern Indian woman, who's rooted in traditions, yet open to fresh explorations.
