JADE by Monica and Karishma has paid tribute to the timeless journey of a bride with their latest bridal couture collection, showcased through a modern palette. Monica Shah and Karishma Swalli, renowned for infusing India’s rich cultural heritage into their designs, once again surpassed themselves with this new collection.
Their latest presentation, held at the Travancore House in New Delhi, is aptly titled “A Bride’s Reverie.” Inspired by Monica’s own wedding memories, the collection embodies the intricate weaves and embroideries that celebrate the bride’s journey with elegance and self-love. This collection deviates from their traditional color palette, featuring bold experiments with jewel tones, elaborate headgear, and contemporary styles.
Mira Kapoor added a touch of glamour as the showstopper in a powder blue lehenga, dazzling in a custom-made intricate outfit. Monica Shah shared insights into the collection, describing it as a blend of nostalgia and modernity. “A Bride’s Reverie” aims to remind brides of the significance of their wedding day, celebrating their heritage and individuality while embracing a modern sensibility.
Highlights of the collection include intricate hand embroidery that merges traditional techniques with contemporary design, and a color palette that transitions from soft pastels to rich jewel tones. This collection reflects a commitment to beauty and responsibility, honoring both craftsmanship and sustainability.
The collection also draws inspiration from the vintage era, featuring delicate fringe detailing, floral embroidery, and lacework that evoke old-world charm. By blending these elements with modern aesthetics, JADE has created a collection that resonates with both vintage elegance and contemporary style.
