Matsya’s new bridal edit takes a leaf out of the royal pages
Utkarsh Ahuja talks about Matsya’s latest bridal couture collection, its royal inspirations, jewel-toned palette and vision for the modern Indian bride
Luxe label Matsya by Utkarsh Ahuja has unveiled its latest couture collection, Vintage Bridal. Inspired by the romance of royal portraits and the enduring beauty of heirloom couture, the collection reimagines bridal wear for the modern bride. Crafted in rich velvets and luxurious silks, and adorned with intricate hand embroidery, the collection features a sophisticated palette of forest green, vintage Bordeaux, Persian plum, and royal jade. Utkarsh takes us through the same.
Q How does this collection balance regal philosophy with the functional and aesthetic preferences of a modern bride?
A For me, the line was about balancing the visual language of a contemporary bride with modern veils and Matsya’s signature artwork evoking landscapes and palaces on cloth. The colour palette also has a wide range, including vintage apricot, forest green, and Bordeaux, opening up a modern visual language for the new-age bride.
