Titled: The 4C's-Couture, Crystal, Craft and Carat, the fifth edition of the Tarun Tahiliani Couture Exposition 2013 was at its luxe-best .Laden with the weight of history yet effervescent as it sits lightly on one's skin, it took us back to the age of excess where the hallmark of genuine Indian trousseau was the painstaking made-by-hand details, the ornate embroidery and the intricate threadwork that formed this couture collection.

Ivory silk threads sang in romantic paneled kurtas lifted with opals, pearls and other Swarovski crystals even as saris gleamed with antique gold and silver peek-a-boo. Generous smatterings of zardozi, brocade and kalidar kurtas aside; the saris were opulent, from jamewar inspirations to gota, chikankari and bandhini indulgences.
