Varun Bahl

A sober and deceptively simple look ruled Varun Bahl's collection. Sheer fabrics transcending into elegance and magic were the highlight of his designs. Perfection seemed to be the focus and was very well achieved in all the design elements. There was uniqueness in each of the ensembles - forms complimented the colour, colours complemented the texture and texture in turn complemented the silhouettes.
