Romancing the Vintage Era – Jyoti Sachdev at her Best in Bengal Fashion Week 2014
Jyoti Sachdev chose as her theme the Vintage Look and showcased a fabulous line of drapes in luxe dreamy colours. The best thing about her line – it came with minimalistic embellishments. “Beauty is within, it’s not about what you wear to make yourself beautiful, it is but a part of you. Giving back to our old favorites, I think drapes never made it out of the fashion scene. Drapes have a very feminine appeal sensuous and timeless. And considering the spring summer clime I just had in mind a set of very flowy gowns.” commented Jyoti on the first eve of Kingfisher Ultra Bengal Fashion Week 2014. Counted among the creative and innovative designers of the country Jyoti Sachdev a graduate from NIFT Delhi, has 20 Years of Industry Experience.
