Sunset on the beautiful Udaipur Lake is the right time to pull out my Merino wool and Khun jacket, over the comfy Kota Doria dress. #khun #kotadoria #merino #merinowool #hautecoutureweek #hcw #hautecouture @vaishalishadangule @vaishalisstudio

In these light colors, in the early morning breeze of the Aravallis, I love wearing my off white corded Merino wool coat over the (almost local) Kota Doria dress with mushrooms. @vaishalishadangule @vaishalisstudio #hautecoutureweek #hcw #hautecouture @hautecoutureweek #merino #merinowool #kotadoria #corded #coat

Those moments when I happily close myself into the changing room to have a chat with my daughter, wrapped in my Khun jacket and my old Kota Doria mushroom dress. #motheranddaughter #kota #kotadoria #khun #dress #jacket #hautecoutureweek #hcw #hautecouture #indianweaves #handloom #handweaves

One run through my beautiful whites before going home. Bye till tomorrow ... it is amazing the feeling of flying into an ethereal space that I get every time I pass through them. #flagship #flagshipstore #whites #white #cape #hautecoutureweek #hcw #hautecouture #silk #silksarees #chanderi #fashion @vaishalishadangule @vaishalisstudio #kalaghoda

Sometimes you work hard with one core value and you have one small gap that disturbs you. I am so happy that for@my Paris Haute Couture collection (and now for my Indian bridal) I have managed to fill this gap of the shoes, and have them also sustainable thanks to the collaboration with Vibram. We managed to have their new sustainable soles matched with our left overs fabric (same shoes same garment in the photo) into a fully circular shoe! So happy that I am dancing 🙂 #sustainability #shoes #sustainablefashion #sustainableshoes #hautecoutureweek #hautecoutureparis #hautecouture #hcw @vaishalishadangule @vaishalisstudio @vibram @simonamontemari

A few close ups of the textures from some garments ready to be shipped. I just love seeing my textures ready, while there is also a sense of separation. #textures #hautecoutureweek #hcw #museum #wearableart #art @vaishalisstudio @vaishalishadangule Pc @galessandrog

Detailing. And detailing in the making. Each one of the garments of the collection is itself a concentration of different textures and lines that magically blend in one single classy flow, right out of the soul. #creativity #hautecoutureweek #hcw #hautecouture #detailing #texture #highfashion #indianbridal #bridal

What a Haute Couture Show! 100 carefully seated and selected guests attended the first Indian bridal collection of Vaishali S. The collection designed by @vaishalishadangule was beyond any possible expectation, with unique balance between traditions and research of a more sustainable way of couture, in line with the aim of self expression of the modern brides. Less embroideries to enhance the richness of handwoven textiles and skillful textures. The show itself was one of perfection. Hosted in the 120 years old heritage The Ballroom of the @tajmahalmumbai with the well known excellent service and decor, directed and choreographed to personalized perfection by Alesia @allylovesgym and her school of modeling, framed by unique red carpet jewelry by @forevermark . The show was opened by a remarkable performance by Merlin D’Souza @musicmerlin and Abadhoot Phadke at the Bansuri @ava_flute was the perfect opening between traditions and modern language. It was closed majestically by the always super Sucheta and the usual captivating smile from Vaishali. The backdrop was a mega screen with unique photos of the garments underwater by @galessandrog with background music by Ved Nair. The models had been styled to perfection in hair and make up by @jeanclaudebiguineindia Guests have been entertained by the best wines (sparkling, white, red, rosé) of @fratelliwines and gifted of an impressive hamper by @purearth and handcrafted masks by Vaishali S. It was the first physical show after 18 months in India, and it did set the bar very high and gave back guests a sense of having shifted by several levels into global standard haute couture. Everything carefully captured by the team of @viralbhayani . Thanks Vaishali S! #hautecoutureweek #hcw @diamondtreejewels @vaishalishadangule @vaishalisstudio @harrysuch @shraddhamusale
