For the millenial royalty
Nachiket Barve’s collaboration with R|Elan™ brought along a beautiful collection named R|Elan™ Millennial Maharanis. Inspired by the young Indian royalty, Nachiket fused traditional elements with modern, lightweight and comfortable fabric, allowing the wearer to move freely. From the age old lehengas and sarees to jackets and gown, this collection had a perfect balance of everything. Talking about his collection Nachiket says, “The collection uses a wide range of techniques that reinvent age old craft traditions with a modernist’s point of view.
Janhvi Kapoor
The R|Elan™ fabrics were wonderful to embellish and do a range of techniques like beading, applique, resham embroidery and to just use for colour blocking.” Justifying the name of the collection, Dhadak actress Janhvi Kapoor walked down the ramp in a gorgeous floral lehenga. The colour palette of pink and blues combined with the delicate thread work brought out the royalty in the outfit.
