Mrs. Ambani, known for her patronage of craft and Indian stories, wanted to envision a unique look for the Haldi ceremony of Anant and Radhika. The myriad colors each represent the joys and blessings of the many forms of Devi, also significant of the auspicious days of navratri . This custom Lehenga took more than 3800 man hours to materialize, with a group of 60 female artisans hand knotting and embellishing the latkans, and embroidering and sewing this one of a kind ensemble. It also celebrates the beauty in the ‘kitsch’ traditions of the heartland of India; something luxury fashion is yet to properly explore.
