Ritu Beri’s Festive Collection

Ace Designer Ritu Beri showcased her festive collection at Kimaya Juhu store on 5th November 2012. Neha and Pradeep Hirani played host to ace designer Ritu Beri.
The spirit of the collection is intrinsically feminine, romantic yet flamboyant; the collection is about rich, artistic hand work modeled into contemporary silhouettes with subtle details of embroidery to augment the soft feminine appeal. From pastels to bright colors in fabrics like pure cotton and laces, chiffons for casual wear to light weight silk, crepes and brocade for the festive wear, the highlight of the collection is the intricate embroidery with a different take.

Ritu Beri said “I am very happy to be back to Mumbai after such a long time and Kimaya was the best destination to showcase my collection. I have just worked on my festive collection for the season, which perfectly combines the spirit of festivity in a stylish way. My collection is very feminine and colorful and I am very happy to see it in Kimaya for the next four days.”
Ritu Beri has marked her name in the fashion fraternity in India and worldwide. She is the first Asian designer to head the French fashion brand Scherrer. Known for both her Indian and Western designs, Ritu Beri has dressed some of the most powerful people like the former Us President Bill Clinton and beautiful Hollywood celebrities like Nicole Kidman, Ivana Trump and many more.
