The designer showcased his collection, “New Leaf” at the FDCI India Couture Week 2022 being held in the Capital. For womenswear, Bahl focussed on voluminous lehengas, statement pantsuits, layered dresses packed with bold floral prints, patchwork embroideries, and interesting textures. On the men’s front, there were plenty of cool jackets, suits, and sherwanis on display.

With the wedding season around the corner, this collection offers a wide variety of choices for brides who are looking to experiment. The bralette tops, 3-D textured patchworks, and luxe suits are some brave options.
