Haryana and Europe: A unique fashion mix!

Take a look at what designer VJ Balhara offered up on the final day of Lakme Fashion Week.

VJ Balhara's latest collection 'Rustic Sophistication' draws inspiration from both the aristocratic zamindar women of Haryana and feminine European elegance of the '50s and '60s.

He pulled off this unique fusion at the LFW with swirling, fluid Indo-Western garments that were crafted from cotton, chanderi, satin and linen.

The show opened with this diaphanous white tiered full-circle kurta and simple tailored bolero.
