The Indian Bridal Couture maestro Tarun Tahiliani is indeed a legend! We all remember that one time he amazed us all at the Indian Couture Week (ICW) 2018 when he showcased 70 beautiful bridal outfits while others designers only displayed 15-20 of their creations. Tarun Tahiliani is an ocean of ideas just waiting to be realized into apparels. Over the years he’s left us all stunned with his remarkable Swarovski crystal work, his chikankari lehengas and zardozi embroidery.

The intricacy and fine detailing in his work is extraordinary which is why celebrities such as Madhuri Dixit, Kajol Devgan and even Priyanka Chopra Jonas fall under his client list! Other celebrities who don on his sarees from time to time are Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez, Kangana Ranaut and even Alia Bhatt! Tahiliani expertly introduces modern elements to traditional apparels.

Moving chronologically let’s take a look back at some of Tahiliani’s iconic sarees!

His most recent collection “Bloom” from India Couture Week 2019 is all about “bloom sarees” and features floral sarees as well as sarees in various shades of aqua as well as a breathtaking rouge saree.
