Time Travel Meets Couture

Unfolding the culture rooted art & craft to form a significant element of Indian couture, Anju Modi has carved a niche for herself in the fashion sphere.  The name Anju Modi might instantly resonate with us as the iconic costume designer behind the two revered magnum opus movies Ram Leela and Bajirao Mastani. Her ensembles revived the bygone era and their cultural nuances enhancing each character and their personality on the celluloid. 

Her influences from the time-honoured craftsmanship of the imperial era create heirloom-worthy ensembles and tug on the heartstrings of every modern woman with fine style sensibilities. Every Indian wear in our wardrobe belongs to eventful days like festive parties, weddings and her meticulous creations form a special part of such celebrations. That said, a wedding lehenga by Anju Modi is the dream of many brides-to-be.

Her creations are a narration of Indian tradition imagined with nuances of contemporary innovation. Her latest lineup- ‘Mir’ is a timeless bridal repertoire that borrows inspiration from the ageless beauty of ancient Indian Maharanis.’ The impeccable grace of Rani Usha Devi of Jodhpur and the whimsical details on Nawab Begum Sajida Sultan’s ensemble inspire the opulent silhouettes and antique embroidery. Imbibing nostalgia of the imperial era, Anju Modi uses luxe jewel tones, exaggerated volumes and flora and fauna motifs to ornate the ensembles. 

If you’re planning your nuptials at a palatial venue, the collection is packed with quintessential grandiose that will create a lasting impression. The opulent lehengas are meant for the bride-to-be who gets swayed by legacy; a modern woman with an eye for detail and love for treasure-worthy craftsmanship.
