The juxtaposition of old-world charm and contemporary finesse was captivating. Subtle details, like the sheen of pearls on delicate net blouses, lent a modern edge to timeless silhouettes, while coral and ivory hues refreshed the traditional bridal palette. It wasn’t just a showcase of couture—it was storytelling through design, where every stitch spoke of balance, opulence, and restraint.
Tassavur, meaning “imagination” in Urdu, is a tribute to the grandeur of Mughal intricacies and Indian wedding traditions. Amrin Khan explained, “The designs, the architecture, the attention to detail from the Mughal era inspired Tassavur. For me, it is something that is beyond imagination.” This influence was evident in the intricate embroidery and rich textures, reminiscent of the majesty of Mughal art and architecture.
