Her Maheshwari silks’ showcase was the perfect base for the Ashoka blooms; while the Khunn featured the lush mango flowers. When it came to the gorgeous Kanchipuram silks, it was fragrant jasmines that offered a serene look. The ever-popular Banarsi brocades, beloved of all brides, had a regal tranquil quality. As Vaishali’s bride dreamt of her true love, her collection like Kamdev’s arrows struck all the right sartorial cords as it pierced the air with its stylish aim. For Vaishali, her collections have always been an intense study of great detailing and fabric manipulation, which was once again evident in her looks.
Cording was at the centre of attention for all the garments and appeared for cholis, blouses, kurtas, saris and batwing sleeved tops. Vaishali’s mastery over the art of manipulating the cords was amazing and the 3D texturing appeared on the bodice or as placements in bunches for various creations. Vaishali’s famous ‘accordion’ inspired pin-tucked cholis and blouses, which have now become her signature, were seen repeatedly but created with great imagination each time.
When it’s bridal wear with a heart and soul, Vaishali Shadangule’s “Madanottsava” collection had the best of both worlds in large doses along with ample fashion directions.
