I try to evoke the beauty of a goddess in my designs'

Veteran designer Tarun Tahiliani showcased his latest line at the WLIFW on Day One. By his own admission, Tahiliani prefers his creations to be classic and so does not follow a singular theme nor trends. These are, as he puts it, attempts to 'evoke the beauty of a goddess'.

First up is this becoming lilac number, set off by kitten-heeled mules and silver accessories.
