A Victorian bride at Anju Modi’s India Couture Week 2018 show

There was a fresh sense of polish, timelessness, and romanticism throughout the collection, with a wide range of silhouettes from A-line, to circle skirts, fit and flare to fishtails, all creating beautiful movement and a powerful but understated vision. Fabrics were layered, and combined in unexpected ways for a truly unique gown for the bride.

Modi’s collection, A Maiden’s Prayer, drew on inspiration from the Victorian era. The designer took a step back in time and tried to bring alive the historically significant era through cuts, silhouettes and designs. Rich and heavy fabrics such as velvet, silk and brocade were spotted throughout, and to make it even more dreamier, Modi stuck to a jewel tone colour palette.

Have a 2018 wedding date? Yearn for something modern and sophisticated with Victorian-era edginess? Here is Kangana sporting a head-turning cream lehenga with a very Victorian-style luxe velvet jacket, complete cape sleeves and bouquets of floral embroidery sprinkled with delicate beading. The actor topped off the look with her hair styled into a half-do with voluminous curls.

Day 1 of India Couture Week 2018, which took place on July 25 at the Taj Palace in New Delhi, saw Kangana Ranaut walking the runway for designer Anju Modi in a beige lehenga with a touch of golden sheen, the spacious ensemble was styled with a longline velvet jacket in maroon that gave it a regal touch, with minimalistic diamond necklace by RK Jewellers and a Victorian hairstyle.

Kangana’s lehenga was romantic a combination of this moment and timeless.

Kangana’s hand crafted regal feeling ensemble with a plunging neckline and an optional contrasting embellished cape is for sophisticated, forward -thinking brides, who are really looking for something different, but still cherish timeless designs with ultra-feminine twists, elevated textures and highly luxurious accents.

The actor walked the runway in an extravagant Anju Modi lehenga at India Couture Week 2018 (ICW 2018) at Taj Palace, New Delhi on Wednesday that every bride-to-be will want to get her hands on in the coming months.

Modi’s collection looked straight out of a fairytale with heavy fabrics and intricate textures throughout the collection that is fit for a royal bride.
