My favorite part of designing bridal is that I will be a part of the most important day in a woman's life. My work needs to make her feel sophisticated, glamorous, sexy, and comfortable.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'd love to design bridal dresses.
I was lucky enough to create my own dress, deciding on every single design detail. But, even if you don't have a custom dress, you can still create a signature wedding-day look with personalization - a belt, altering the sleeves, etc. But, when creating your bridal style, the most important thing to remember is to make it feel like you.
Designing bridal is perfect for me, because black is my least favorite color, if you could call it a color.
I love the opportunity to get properly dressed up. I've worn three Lanvin dresses, and they've all been a dream. They're so well made, with the most beautiful craftsmanship. I don't tend to go with things that are ornate - just beautifully made pieces and some classic jewelry. Let the work speak for itself. I love that.
I design for the woman who loves being a woman.
I don't design for myself. I design something keeping in mind that it has to please a lot of women.
I love to put on diamonds and beautiful evening gowns and make my girl-friends upset.
The design process usually starts as a fantasy, with ideas that I dream of and visualize. These ideas become a reality by bringing various ingredients together, from the lifestyle of my bride, her age and sex appeal, to the textures of the finest fabrics and embroideries that we produce in my family factories in India.
I chose my wife, as she did her wedding gown, for qualities that would wear well.
I love designing bridal. I do not follow trends - I design dresses that are relevant to the times.
