CHENNAI: After a hiatus of five months, Arti Bagdy Fashion Collezione is back with carefully chosen designers and jewellers for the first edition of the 2023 — Spring Valentine Special. ABFC has been constantly reinventing itself, working to promote newer designers and jewellers, and encouraging the debuting talent.
This edition is an attempt to unite the traditional with the modern through thoughtfully curated couture and pret designers, fusion wear designers, sari designers, fine jewellers and accessory designers from across the country. What makes this collection unique is that each garment, each piece created by the designers connects with the wearer in multiple ways, enhancing and accentuating their personalities. The philosophy of these participating designers is that fashion is not just about trends or how to make heads turn; instead, it is about creating a sense of self-confidence.
ABFC brings a galaxy of fine jewellers, many of whose pieces are constantly worn at red-carpet events by celebrities. With this edition, fine jewellery lovers can indulge in intricate designs that include, Russian emerald strings, carved Columbian emeralds, south sea pearls, lightweight uncut diamond jewellery, Bangkok-style fine jewellery, and exclusive bridal jewellery from stalwarts like Birdhichand Ghanshyamdas Jewellers from Jaipur and Soham Creations from Mumbai, along with Tiraa by Tibarumal by Pankaj Gupta from Hyderabad.
