Monisha Jaising Sailing Bride was an amalgam of different elements, which makes up for an intimate memorable wedding on-board a luxury yacht parked in a regatta.
The collection encompassed well-detailed masterpieces, complexity of forms and its multiple interpretations of elements on fabrics such as silk organza, twisted silk jersey, English tweed, metallic velvet and chiffon, fur, neoprene, stretch nappa leather, bonded crepe, tulle, double faced organza and soft cotton.
The line has an exquisite array of fresh, contemporary and edgy designs starting with bias circular skirts, panelled skirts, pre-draped sarees, lehenga-gowns, structured jackets, crossover bralettes, voluminous gowns, embellished cigarette pants and fit & flare pants.
While Zardozi, laser cutting, latticework, metal and wood fittings, 3D applique, basket weaving and velvet applique were the highlights of the collection. The colour palette infused with shades of onyx, pristine, ice blue, winter sky, midnight blue, bisca bay, sand, sunset orange, aurous, seaweed teal, windsor wine and earth red reverberate style and elegance. Grey marl jersey lehenga with 14 different panels of traditional zardozi embroidered elements, teamed with a grey ribbed racer back tank adorned with tattoo art; completed with a luxe red bridal dupatta and traditional Indian jewellery and converse shoes was quirky but modish.

Built over an area of 6,460 square feet with four floors, the store has a post office downstairs and an art gallery upstairs. Designed by Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen, the space is linked by a grand central staircase and features Wang’s signature aesthetic with sleek, industrial fixtures. Unlike other stores, all the metals are covered in matte rubber instead of being flat black metal features a lot of tonal shades of gray. It’s a bit softer, with a lot more suede, and more sensual materials.
