Ritu Beri Haute Couture...

Im facinated by the duel colour of this garment, its very outstanding and western though still having the mystic indian influence to it by the beading on the garment. The stylising of this dress is fabulous with the head peice and the bangles it looks amazing!



The most detail on these garments are the skirts all huge and exaggerated i'm fascinated by the colours and the concept of still having the mystic influence, i have included all this in my sketchbook for a wide range of ideas for my final collection in 2011.
