It was the charm of Radha and Krishna’s legendary tales that compelled young designer Sakshee Pradhan to create a beautiful line of clothes that perfectly described her collection ‘A celebration of classic romance’. With jewelled toned ensembles embellished with crystals and minimal embroidery, this debutant designer is already getting rave reviews for her introductory line that comprises of ball gowns, contemporary dresses and cocktail dresses.
Sakshee recently launched her label Schön, which means beautiful in German. She says, “I feel Radha’s love for Krishna was the most beautiful thing I have ever come across in my life, so I decided to call my label Schön. I have grown up reading Radha’s dreamy anecdotes with Lord Krishna, and I always imagined that if Radha was in today’s world, what kind of woman would she be? My collection is an interpretation of my thoughts and ideas about Radha”
Sakshee used bright colours for her garments and accentuated them with glittering elements to create a sensual and glamorous line. Talking about her bold choices in the outfits, she explains, “Personally, I am very fond of bling and so I have used hints of glittering crystals in the lavish gowns and dresses to depict the flirtatiousness and passionate nature of my muse. I used silks, nets and sheer fabric in bold colours to highlight the strength of her love and flamboyant nature. In some dresses I have also used lotus motifs and embroidery to give it a very feminine touch.”
