That’s the speciality of India- its versatility in every form. Welcome to a nation of myriad of different stories , each woven with love .
The most intriguing part of the nation is its national attire- THE SAREE . With different forms of sarees from Punjab to Gujarat and Bengal to Tamil Nadu, each area has a different style to the very same saree. While this version that you know about is THE SIX YARD STORY 1.0 , this story I am talking about is a little ahead, a little modernised , a little unconventional .
Today, fashion has taken over pretty much everything and for good and the Saree is no exception . Lakme Fashion Week is one such platform that showcases the best of fashion every year , twice . The Spring Summer ’19 series was mesmerizing with each designer showcasing their collections that were visually arresting .
