Designer of bridal wear

The beauty of a woman takes on more meaning when a man adulates the feminity in her. And when it is a male designer endeavouring to dress her up to look beautiful on her D-day that is the wedding day, he certainly becomes a claimant to her heart through the creative designs that mark her out as the ``Bride''.

Anil Batra, a Delhi-based designer, has always believed in making a woman look perfect during the day of her marriage.``It is the most important day of her life and she wants to wear the best,'' he reasons. And over the years, he has acquired the knack of dressing women in the latest style fashion as he has developed an innate understanding of what women want.

His bridal collection is considered by many as a blend of traditional sensibilities with modern spirits. ``My main focus is on wearability and affordability by all sections,'' he says. The special bridal wear collection designed by him is in winter-rich shades like wine, burgundy, crimson red, fusia, magenta, gold, dusky orange and in light colours like rose, pink, dull fusia, off-white and dull magenta.

As for lehengas, they are with different silhouettes like A-line, bias and flared cut details. The tops are sculptured in short and long sizes to enhance the beauty of every bride. ``It is an amalgam of different hues, glitters and ravishing style,'' he assures.

Batra claims that fabrics for his collection are exclusively sourced keeping up with the latest trends. His new refreshing range is in brocades, jamavars, crushed crepes, satins, nets and bandhanis/gharcolas, organza and tissues, all captivating with versatile quality and understated elegance -- and seeing is believing for people who consider this as an exaggeration.

As for his showroom -- Frontier Bazaar - located in the heart of Karol Bagh, it has been designed keeping in mind the requirements of different clients. ``There are separate floors of each category, be it the fabrics, saris, readymades, lehenga cholis, bridal wear and everything else that excites a woman,'' he says.

The ready-to-wear collections are based on blending traditional sensibilities with modern spirits. The celebrated stroke signature embroidery finds a perfect setting in the new ethnic couture collection. ``Our winter collection will redefine ethnic wear with a breath-taking array of vibrant colours in rich fabric adorned with a spray of embroidery,'' Batra asserts.

The look, he adds is clean with emphasis on motifs and quality of workmanship. As for the glittering Swarovski, they will be all over, he says, adding : ``Our creative exclusive designs of ready-to-wear line gives woman the magic for all her moods''.

So, let the most important person in you feel that the clothes on your body not only make you beautiful but also reflect your attitude. ``To make a woman look out of the world on the most important day, nay on all occasions with confidence and control -- that is my aim,'' boasts Batra.
