Varun Bahl presented his collection entitled 'Anastasia Found' on Day 5 of Delhi Couture Week.
A tribute to the enigmatic, flamboyant mystique of imperial Russia, the collection is an indulgence in fantasy entwined with the designer's characteristic craftsmanship. Check it out!
First up was this red velvet gown with fitted corset top and narrow skirt. The ivory and red contrast help tone down the rich velvet effect while the zardosi detailing gives it a touch of Indian style.
Layered luxe
A flamboyant collection, Bahl liberally used heavy velvets with layers of lace and rich embellishment to create complex ensembles.
Seen here is model Carol Gracias all covered up in luxurious layers.

This ensemble in black and grey takes liberally from the Romanov era, with the delicate sleeve and skirt embellishments lending the perfect contrast.

Another fusion of the richness of Indian couture and Russian luxury, this red and ivory creation was simple exquisite.
Curtain call
The designer took the stage to take in the well-deserved applause, surrounded by his designs.
