MODE PRINTEMPS

Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!' - Robin Williams

- 

The sparkling rays of the sun rise high in the sky, thawing out the frigid winter snow, reminding us that every period of harsh survival is followed by a time of glory. When the buds bloom into flowers, when the fawns are back to traversing the forests, when nature awakens in a riot of colour and vitality, one can't help but mirror the elation. In biology, there is a term called mycorrhizal networks. It refers to the underground system through which trees share water and nutrients. When we look at life, it seems that human society has followed a similar pattern of transformation with nature at the focal point. From the rajas and ranis to the guys and gals, life and fashion have sustained by overlooking the gardens and their inhabitants. From Maharani Gayatri Devi of Jaipur adorning an iconic floral chiffon sari to Princess Gauravi Kumari embracing modern fashion in an embroidered Anita Dongre skirt set, from billionaire heiress Isha Ambani embodying luxury in a Sabyasachi 3D lehenga to actress Shraddha Kapoor strutting the red carpet in a Falguni Shane Peacock gown, fashion has imprinted from nature and become the carrier of heritage. The brides of the era, imbued in modernity still hold hands with traditions in their bridal attires replete with flora and fauna, traditional motifs and emotional legacy.
