The intricate craftsmanship in the windows of the Taj Mahal can be seen in the garments through the rich colour palette. Red has been used to symbolise love, passion and sensuality and gold to reflect luxury, grandeur and glamour.
Techniques such as sponge uplift have been used to give extra width to tiered gowns, corsets have been cut and styled using special basting and shaping techniques. Garments are given a current fusion using contemporary silhouettes and sensual necklines giving the modern girl who loves luxury, a look that melds together two different eras.
