Ethnic Reboot: Wispy capes and drapes are back as fusion wear stunners!

Fusion fever is ruling the trend charts for quite some time now. Skillfully placed drapes and designer capes layered over oomphy bustier blouses have taken a special spot due to their eye-catching allure. The playful style is being coveted as a wedding wear stunner this season too, courtesy to the young and promising couturier Ridhima Bhasin. The designer has given the right reasons to ditch the dupatta with her artistic drapes and tailoring that is as effortless and elegant. Beautifying her refineries with ingenious overlays of pre-attached dupattas and layers, Ridhima breathes freshness into the usual wedding wear styles seen at big fat Indian weddings. 

With her affinity for layers and textures, Ridhima Bhasin constructs the classic staples of Indian festivities with contemporary styling. Boasting of the perfect blend of ethnicity and modernity, light and fluid pre-attached dupattas go perfectly with high-octane shenanigans and dancing while her wispy capes shine out like an extra layer of grandeur to make you the belle of the ball. Statement blouses are big this season so if you’re looking to take the drama high-octane, a perfect power play of drapery is all you need. Customized with pre-draped dupatta extensions, a Ridhima Bhasin anarkali is the most-loved piece from her repertoire.

Go for traditionally tailored pieces paired with cutting edge fluid silhouettes to look equal parts classic and chic and voila! And, if you want a bespoke fusion look that’ll shine a spotlight on you the moment you step in, Ridhima Bhasin is the designer to trust.
