The colour of mystery; the colour of darkness; the colour of elegance — black is, without a doubt, fashion’s most loved colour. Designer Rei Kawakubo famously said, “I work in three shades of black.” Alexander McQueen is another designer who truly deconstructed black and gave it a powerful new identity through his collections. But the most important moment in history was Coco Chanel’s invention of the Little Black Dress which got black to be openly accepted as a colour that was more than a uniform of mourning.
This bridal season, take a leap from the traditional colours that have dominated the Indian wedding scene since ages. Black is beckoning you, with its rebellious nature, urging you to experiment. The advantage of black is that it is a neutral, minimal colour — and when it’s infused with embroidery in gold and silver, it transforms into a grand ensemble that exudes festive vibes.
Take your pick from Indian designers like Ritu Kumar, Shehla Khan, Nachiket Barve, Payal Singhal, Rimple and Harpreet Narula and more whose bold, daring takes on the colour will inspire you to jump on the black bridal bandwagon.
