"This lehenga is a really fine mix of layering within a rare blend of many techniques deriving out of Mughal Jaals.  It is made up of several pieces that are put together like a jigsaw puzzle on a master plan - textures in different fabrics on which Mughal florals are embossed and then encrusted in online pave with Swarovski crystallised elements.  Taking about 4000 man hours to complete this lehenga combines both shine and matt, blending many worlds and redefines INDIA MODERN." says Tarun Tahiliani.

In 1895, Daniel Swarovski, a Bohemian inventor and visionary, moved to the village of Wattens, Tyrol in Austria, with his newly-invented machine for cutting and polishing crystal jewelry stones. From this beginning that revolutionized the fashion world, Swarovski has grown to be the world’s leading producer of precision-cut crystal for fashion, jewelry and more recently lighting, architecture and interiors.
