She is undoubtedly a rare combination of beauty with intellect along with a healthy dose of creativity that has made her a well known name in India as well as abroad. Her name is one which is synonymous with high end fashion catering to all occasions.

One of the most fantastic designers of our time, Ritu Beri is famous for her use of block prints and intricate motifs in her brand of designer wear sarees. Her stunning designs are a big hit with fashionable women who yearn to be draped in gorgeous designer creations for every event. Indeed, Bollywood stars and industrialist wives can often be spotted draped in Ritu Beri Sarees at red carpet events.

According to Ritu Beri herself, her work is an honor as well as a challenge for her. She captures the cheerful and lively Indian culture in her Saree Designs and gives them a different lease of life. Her specialty lies in her traditional Indian wear, especially the bridal collections of lehengas and sarees.

The much touted bridal collection from Ritu Beri is designed in colorful fabrics with detailed and complicated zardosi, bandhni or chikan work. When it comes to materials, there is no holds barred for this designer. Cotton blends, satins, crepes, georgettes, silk and other luxe fabrics are used to tailor the exquisite bridal dresses.

The romantic tones of the garments reverberate with echoes of bygone eras and yet they have a very contemporary touch to them as well. Also impressive is her collection of Salwar Suits. Made mostly out of crepe and crepe blend fabrics, the salwar sets are unparalleled. As with all her other designs, they too are heavily embroidered and of course have that all essential hint of westernized cuts that are perfect for the modern women’s sensibilities.

A little known fact about Ritu Beri is that she has a clothing line dedicated exclusively to children. Named ‘Baby Beri’, this range was launched by Akshay Kumar and caters to stylish kids who want their slice of designer wear.

Aside, from the ubiquitous zari enriched garments, Ritu Beri recently made headlines with her Autumn/Winter collection of 2010 which was a tribute to the brave Indian soldiers.

Anamika Khanna’s Bridal Collection


anamika khanna bridal collectionAnamika Khanna’s Bridal Collections are all about veering away from the traditional. Demure bridal designs are passé for her. Her bridal wear is all about sharp cuts and elegant silhouettes. While Anamika Khanna does use a lot of traditional gold, her bridal collection breaks the rules by experimenting with black as well.

Her avante garde designs got her an invite to the Bridal Asia event held in Pakistan. She attended the prestigious Bridal Asia event along with two other prominent Indian designers. The designer’s creations are ruled by royal influences which are reminiscent of the Maharajas of yesteryear. As a nod to contemporary tastes, the blingy and glitzy dresses of yesteryears were toned down into softer hues with liberal use of gold and silver.

Keeping the tastes of the new age bride in mind, Anamika tries to draw a compromise between the uber modern and the traditional. The results? A red sharara with black patchwork..or maybe netted leggings with a flowy white top. The dresses are sure to cater to modern demands as well as keep the in-laws happy. The designer’s talents know no bounds when it comes to clothes. The artistic creations are tailored keeping in mind both the modern scenario as well as our cultural heritage.

sonam kapoor in anamika khannas collectionAn interesting twist given by Khanna in one of her bridal collection shows was to base an entire collection around Indian Dhotis. The humble dhoti, under the designer’s skillful hands, was transformed into beautiful cowl dresses. Anamika Khanna’s latest muse, Bollywood artist and fashionista Sonam Kapoor, displayed the key piece of that collection which was a drape dress in stunning golden tones with mukesh work on the bodice and subtle embellishments on the skirt to define the folds of the cowl. The same show also featured other creative show stoppers such as drape dresses in monochrome, coats with pleats, layered saris and tunics. The clothes were embellished with pearls and cut flowers which was refreshing for the fact that the same old designs and embroidery was effectively avoided. It was a completely new concept which till then had not been explored by any other designer.

Anamika Khanna’s bridal collection is well known for her unique blends of Indian and western elements. In the designer’s own words, her goal is to elevate Indian traditional crafts to an international level. This fact was proven by her recent collection at the Delhi Couture Week where fitted jackets, lehenga cholis and dresses dominated the ramp. Among all of her bridal creations memorable designs include such gems as unconventional asymmetrical hems made by knotting the sides of the garments, floral embroidery work, trelliswork, detailing with Rajput figurines and pearl embellishments. Her fabrics are fluid and shimmery giving the outfits a very feminine look. Anamika’s flawless design sensibilities and construction make sure her creations are eye catching always.

As compared to her counterparts like Manish Arora or Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Anamika Khanna is lesser known outside of India. Yet, her kitschy and jazzy creations are now rapidly getting her the attention she deserves.
