For the first time, we are creating a series of 4 Zines that revolve around one topic – Behind the Indian Wedding.
The Indian Wedding industry has grown by leaps and bounds over the past decade and it shows no signs of stopping. Behind all the opulence and grandeur lies a whole army of diligent workers who work tirelessly to bring to life the dreams of many brides & grooms. From the magnificent outfits, to the out-of-the-world decor, from the spectacular jewellery to the traditional music – each task needs to be done with an eye for detail & design.
For the first issue of the series, we have covered the process of making a Lehenga. Starting off as an idea in the designer’s mind, every lehenga begins as a humble piece of white fabric that goes through several processes before finally adoring a bride on her special day.
To create this series, we worked together with renowned designer Mrunalini Rao, who kindly gave us unprecedented access to her workshop.
