Delhi raised a toast to couturier Raman Khanna’s spring summer collection at Study By Janak, Karol Bagh. Beautiful gowns, saris, cocktail dresses loaded with intricate embroideries and mirror work were on display. The designer with over 25 years of experience in the industry has worked with the iconic names like Rohit Bal and Tarun Tahiliani.
He told Born of Web that he and his partner, Kanchan Manchanda, launched their label just a couple of years ago even though they have been exchanging creative ideas for decades.

From opulent lehengas to modern-day minimalist silhouettes, long flowy gowns in light breezy fabrics and pastel shades, the collection was embellished with stones and thread, a perfect for the season. “My collection is for confident women who’s look for opulence in their persona. The bridals will look nothing short of a queen in my gowns,” the designer said. To lend royal look, Khanna has used rich fabrics with embroidery techniques like dabka, mukesh and aari. Vibrant reds and gold give lehengas and odhnis a sophisticated charm.
