Flowers never fail to bring a smile to designer Ranna Gill's face.
That's why her Lakme Fashion Week x FDCI collection was her living floral fantasy.
'The name Casa dei Fiori comes from my travels through Italy. That's where I cherished my time amidst sprawling estates with cobblestone roads, manicured lawns, and dazzling gardens', said the designer, who divides time between New Delhi and New York.

IMAGE: Casa dei Fiori, Ranna Gill collection was bursting with happiness and did indeed remind us of the 'beauty of dark botanicals, cheerful bouquets and captured the beauty of a sun-kissed day'.
IMAGE: This was as exotic and heady as fashion gets -- feathers, flowers, bustiers, scenes from Italy, models cascading down the ramp. It all transported us to an alternate wonder world that was full of light and where everything was delicately pretty.
